Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rewindpix at 100% against Flashback Camera's 39%. Flashback Camera's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rewindpix sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Flashback Camera asks for nothing beyond the download.
Flashback Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flashback Camera has 466 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Flashback Camera's written reviews are positive against 100% of Rewindpix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Flashback Camera ships an update fortnightly, Rewindpix every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
