Your energy has a colour. Auria reveals it from a single selfie — processed entirely on your device and never uploaded — then turns it into an aura portrait, a live aura video, and a share-ready clip. WHAT'S INSIDE • Aura scan — take a selfie (or pick a photo) and watch your aura appear around you. • Live aura video — your aura follows you in the camera. Record up to 15 seconds. • 6 aura styles — Glow, Booth (the aura-photo-booth instant-film look), Kirlian, Holo, Halo and Prism. • Aura Battle — two photos, one winner, aura points for each. Friends, couples, you vs your dog. • Pet auras — Auria reads cats and dogs too. • Aura Journal — a calendar of every colour you've glowed, and your top colour of the month. • Share & save — animated aura videos and photos, ready for Stories and TikTok. INCLUDED FOR EVERYONE Scanning, the Glow and Booth styles, live video, Aura Battle, pet auras, the Journal and sharing. AURIA PLUS • All 6 aura styles, in photos and live video • Remove the Auria tag from videos • A fresh aura colour and manifestation every day, with streaks and a gentle reminder • Aura Wrapped — your month in auras, as a video • Colour Match — compare the colours of any two aura portraits Weekly with a 3-day free trial, or annual. Cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Photos and camera frames are processed on your device by Apple Vision, then discarded • The Journal stores colours and dates only — never a photo • No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking Auria is for entertainment purposes only. Aura colours and aura points come from the light and colour in a photo — never from anyone's looks — and Auria does not predict events or give advice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Auria at freemium against Camera Zoom 4's subscription. Auria also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Camera Zoom 4's advantage is ratings volume (801 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Camera Zoom 4 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Auria sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Auria holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camera Zoom 4 has 801 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Camera Zoom 4 ships an update every 2 months, Auria every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
