# Radiance+ vs HDR Easy

Radiance+ and HDR Easy both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of HDR Easy's written reviews are positive against 71% of Radiance+'s. Radiance+'s advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Radiance+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and HDR Easy sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Radiance+ against 4.5 for HDR Easy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radiance+ has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Radiance+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of HDR Easy's.

Radiance+ ships an update monthly, HDR Easy every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and July 6, 2026 respectively.
