Ditherable is free to download; Bitmap Camera costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bitmap Camera holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ditherable has 80 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Ditherable's written reviews are positive against 50% of Bitmap Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ditherable ships an update every 2 months, Bitmap Camera every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
