# Fishing Deluxe vs 河川カメラ

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fishing Deluxe at 70% against 河川カメラ's 24%. Fishing Deluxe also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (496 vs 1). 河川カメラ's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

河川カメラ is free to download; Fishing Deluxe costs $2.99 up front. Fishing Deluxe sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and 河川カメラ sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

河川カメラ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fishing Deluxe has 496 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Fishing Deluxe's written reviews are positive against 24% of 河川カメラ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fishing Deluxe ships an update every 5 weeks, 河川カメラ every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
