# PhotonCam vs 摄影相机

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PhotonCam at 93% against 摄影相机's 0%. PhotonCam also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). 摄影相机's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PhotonCam sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and 摄影相机 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

摄影相机 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PhotonCam has 58 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of PhotonCam's written reviews are positive against 0% of 摄影相机's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PhotonCam ships an update weekly, 摄影相机 every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
