# SPECTR vs Camera Red

The clearest difference is rating: SPECTR at 4.9 against Camera Red's 1.0. SPECTR also leads on ratings volume (28 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Camera Red's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SPECTR sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Camera Red sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SPECTR holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SPECTR has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SPECTR ships an update every 6 weeks, Camera Red every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
