# Impressionism Camera vs Van Gogh Art Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Van Gogh Art Camera at 5.0 against Impressionism Camera's 4.3. Van Gogh Art Camera also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Impressionism Camera's advantage is ratings volume (381 vs 6) and review sentiment (57% vs 40%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Impressionism Camera sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Van Gogh Art Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Van Gogh Art Camera holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Impressionism Camera has 381 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Impressionism Camera's written reviews are positive against 40% of Van Gogh Art Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Impressionism Camera ships an update every 2 months, Van Gogh Art Camera every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
