# Cinemagraph Pro vs Horizon Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Cinemagraph Pro at 4.6 against Horizon Camera's 3.7. Cinemagraph Pro also leads on ratings volume (6.3K vs 65). Horizon Camera's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 22%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cinemagraph Pro sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Horizon Camera sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cinemagraph Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cinemagraph Pro has 6.3K ratings behind it against 65, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Cinemagraph Pro's written reviews are positive against 56% of Horizon Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cinemagraph Pro ships an update every 3 months, Horizon Camera fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
