# Capture One vs Eagle Pocket

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Eagle Pocket at none against Capture One's 4. Capture One's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (331 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Capture One sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. Eagle Pocket asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.5 for Capture One against 3.5 for Eagle Pocket. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Capture One has 331 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
