FILCA

FILCA is not a filter app — it's a whole 2000s digital camera in your pocket. Silver body, black-bezel LCD, engraved buttons, a D-pad, and that motor sound when the lens barrel slides out. Press the on-screen shutter and it fires like the real thing. ■ 20 FILM LOOKS From the core four — DAY OUT, DAY IN, NIGHT OUT, NIGHT IN — measured from real film photos, to MONO, an old-TV broadcast look, a faded travel negative, and a 13-film collection of pastels, golden hour, café tones, blue hour, wine-bar evenings and Y2K digicam. Pick your film for the light you're in. ■ EVERY FILM IS A DIFFERENT CAMERA Each film has its own lens and darkroom character — not just color. Corners that sink into black, dreamy pro-mist glow, purple fringing and a flash hotspot, CRT scanlines, toy-lens edge blur, coarse silver grain. Two films never feel like the same machine. ■ EVERY SHOT IS DEVELOPED, NOT FILTERED Each photo goes through a full darkroom pipeline: lens distortion, halation glow around lights, film grain, vignette, dust, and the occasional light leak. Exposure and color drift a little on every frame — no two photos ever come out the same. ■ A REAL CAMERA, NOT A CAMERA UI - Shooting modes: Auto, Program, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, High Sensitivity - Self-timer, burst shooting, zoom rocker - Brightness dial, hand-shake simulation for that honest 2000s blur - Date stamp — or engrave your own message - On-screen OSD menu straight out of a 2005 compact camera ■ 10 FREE SHOTS Your first roll is on us. Shoot 10 photos free, then subscribe for unlimited developing. No account. No ads. Your photos never leave your phone. ■ SUBSCRIPTION FILCA Monthly — $0.49 per month, auto-renewable.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Upupu at none against FILCA's 1. Upupu also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). FILCA's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
