Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 炫图AI at none against Buttercam's shown. 炫图AI also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 48%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Buttercam's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 304). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Buttercam sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and 炫图AI sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Buttercam holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.3K and 304 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Buttercam's written reviews are positive against 69% of 炫图AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Buttercam ships an update every 3 weeks, 炫图AI every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
