# RØDE Capture vs Spatial Camera

The clearest difference is rating: RØDE Capture at 2.9 against Spatial Camera's 2.0. RØDE Capture also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (70 vs 4). Spatial Camera's advantage is review sentiment (44% vs 31%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spatial Camera sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per year. RØDE Capture asks for nothing beyond the download.

RØDE Capture holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RØDE Capture has 70 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of RØDE Capture's written reviews are positive against 44% of Spatial Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RØDE Capture ships an update every 3 weeks, Spatial Camera every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
