CamFi holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CamFi has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Pixel DSLR Shutter Controller's written reviews are positive against 19% of CamFi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pixel DSLR Shutter Controller ships an update every 8 months, CamFi every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
