# Photon Camera vs ReeXpose

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ReeXpose at 45% against Photon Camera's 24%. ReeXpose also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (457 vs 71). Photon Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photon Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and ReeXpose sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReeXpose holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReeXpose has 457 ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of Photon Camera's written reviews are positive against 45% of ReeXpose's.

Photon Camera ships an update every 3 weeks, ReeXpose every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
