Verdict

Both are free to download. Pro Camera RAW sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and SnapCam sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pro Camera RAW holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pro Camera RAW has 684 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Pro Camera RAW's written reviews are positive against 55% of SnapCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pro Camera RAW ships an update every 6 days, SnapCam every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
