# Capture One vs ApolloOne GO

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ApolloOne GO at 100% against Capture One's 18%. ApolloOne GO also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5). Capture One's advantage is ratings volume (326 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Capture One sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month and ApolloOne GO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ApolloOne GO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Capture One has 326 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 100% of ApolloOne GO's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
