# Lense vs Reveal

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Lense at 1.5K against Reveal's 8. Lense also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Reveal's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 71%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lense sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Reveal sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lense holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lense has 1.5K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Lense's written reviews are positive against 88% of Reveal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lense ships an update weekly, Reveal every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
