# SetMyCamera vs Perfect Exposure

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Perfect Exposure at 100% against SetMyCamera's 44%. Perfect Exposure also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 14) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.6). SetMyCamera's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (141 vs 7). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SetMyCamera sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.29 per 3 months. Perfect Exposure asks for nothing beyond the download.

SetMyCamera holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SetMyCamera has 141 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of SetMyCamera's written reviews are positive against 100% of Perfect Exposure's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SetMyCamera ships an update every 3 weeks, Perfect Exposure every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
