# LensKit vs CamPlot Creator

LensKit and CamPlot Creator both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of CamPlot Creator's written reviews are positive against 70% of LensKit's. CamPlot Creator also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). LensKit's advantage is ratings volume (54 vs 7).

Both are free to download. LensKit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and CamPlot Creator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LensKit has 54 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
