# SetMyCamera Pro vs Capture One

The clearest difference is price: Capture One at Free against SetMyCamera Pro's $9.99. Capture One also leads on ratings volume (331 vs 38). SetMyCamera Pro's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.5) and review sentiment (60% vs 18%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Capture One is free to download; SetMyCamera Pro costs $9.99 up front. SetMyCamera Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.29 per 3 months and Capture One sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SetMyCamera Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Capture One has 331 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of SetMyCamera Pro's written reviews are positive against 18% of Capture One's.

SetMyCamera Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, Capture One fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
