# ATOMOS vs Photo Expert

The clearest difference is rating: Photo Expert at 4.4 against ATOMOS's 3.2. Photo Expert also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (120 vs 10). ATOMOS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo Expert sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days. ATOMOS asks for nothing beyond the download.

Photo Expert holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Expert has 120 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of ATOMOS's written reviews are positive against 5% of Photo Expert's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ATOMOS ships an update every 4 months, Photo Expert every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
