# Camera Filters! vs Candy Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Candy Camera at 4.2 against Camera Filters!'s 3.3. Candy Camera also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). Camera Filters!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Candy Camera sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Camera Filters! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Candy Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Candy Camera has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Camera Filters!'s written reviews are positive against 47% of Candy Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Camera Filters! ships an update every 6 months, Candy Camera every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
