Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remote Shutter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PairCamera has 134 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of PairCamera's written reviews are positive against 0% of Remote Shutter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PairCamera ships an update monthly, Remote Shutter every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
