# Camera Cube vs Filter Stack

The clearest difference is rating: Filter Stack at 4.7 against Camera Cube's 3.2. Filter Stack also leads on ratings volume (304 vs 10) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Camera Cube's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 64%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Camera Cube sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Filter Stack sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Filter Stack holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Filter Stack has 304 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Camera Cube's written reviews are positive against 64% of Filter Stack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Camera Cube ships an update every 5 weeks, Filter Stack fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
