# Shot Lister vs CameraKit

The clearest difference is update cadence: Shot Lister at every 2 weeks against CameraKit's every 2 months. Shot Lister also leads on device support (5 vs 3). CameraKit's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shot Lister sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month and CameraKit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CameraKit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 211 and 321 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Shot Lister's written reviews are positive against 66% of CameraKit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Shot Lister ships an update every 2 weeks, CameraKit every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
