Both are free to download. PairCamera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Camera Remote sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PairCamera holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PairCamera has 134 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of PairCamera'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.
PairCamera ships an update monthly, Camera Remote weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
