# Elinchrom vs Evoto Instant

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Elinchrom at none against Evoto Instant's 13. Elinchrom also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (11.1 vs 15.0). Evoto Instant's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (63% vs 33%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Evoto Instant sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Elinchrom asks for nothing beyond the download.

Elinchrom holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evoto Instant has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Elinchrom's written reviews are positive against 63% of Evoto Instant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Elinchrom ships an update every 3 months, Evoto Instant every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
