# Camera 3D Pro vs YouTube

The clearest difference is rating: YouTube at 4.7 against Camera 3D Pro's 4.0. YouTube also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (49M vs 253). Camera 3D Pro's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 48%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Camera 3D Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and YouTube sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

YouTube holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YouTube has 49M ratings behind it against 253, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Camera 3D Pro's written reviews are positive against 48% of YouTube's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Camera 3D Pro ships an update every 3 months, YouTube weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
