# Lense vs Disposable Camera

The clearest difference is update cadence: Lense at every 10 days against Disposable Camera's every 15 months. Lense also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 7) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Disposable Camera's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lense sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Disposable Camera sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Lense against 4.9 for Disposable Camera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lense has 1.5K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Lense's written reviews are positive against 100% of Disposable Camera's.

Lense ships an update every 10 days, Disposable Camera every 15 months. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
