# Shutter+ Sony Camera Remote vs Camera Remote

The clearest difference is rating: Shutter+ Sony Camera Remote at 4.3 against Camera Remote's 3.9. Shutter+ Sony Camera Remote also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 7). Camera Remote's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 55%) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shutter+ Sony Camera Remote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and Camera Remote sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shutter+ Sony Camera Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shutter+ Sony Camera Remote has 1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Shutter+ Sony Camera Remote's written reviews are positive against 80% of Camera Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Shutter+ Sony Camera Remote ships an update fortnightly, Camera Remote weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
