# RAW Experience vs Bayer Cam

The clearest difference is update cadence: Bayer Cam at weekly against RAW Experience's every 15 months. Bayer Cam also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 2). RAW Experience's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RAW Experience sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bayer Cam sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for RAW Experience against 4.9 for Bayer Cam. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bayer Cam has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of RAW Experience's written reviews are positive against 88% of Bayer Cam's.

RAW Experience ships an update every 15 months, Bayer Cam weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
