# Camera360 vs PIP Magic

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PIP Magic at 86% against Camera360's 46%. PIP Magic also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Camera360's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Camera360 sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and PIP Magic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Camera360 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camera360 has 15K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Camera360's written reviews are positive against 86% of PIP Magic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Camera360 ships an update every 3 weeks, PIP Magic every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
