# Capture One vs Easy Release Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Capture One at 3.5 against Easy Release Pro's 2.3. Capture One also leads on ratings volume (329 vs 3) and review sentiment (18% vs 0%). Easy Release Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Capture One sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month and Easy Release Pro sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Capture One holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Capture One has 329 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of Capture One's written reviews are positive against 0% of Easy Release Pro's.

Capture One ships an update fortnightly, Easy Release Pro every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
