# Mega Photo vs Styled Camera

The clearest difference is ads: Styled Camera at none against Mega Photo's shown. Styled Camera also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Mega Photo's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 50%) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 18). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mega Photo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Styled Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Styled Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mega Photo has 5.6K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Mega Photo's written reviews are positive against 50% of Styled Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mega Photo ships an update every 2 months, Styled Camera fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
