Latente

Latente is a photography app inspired by the experience of shooting on film. Instead of taking unlimited photos and viewing them instantly, Latente invites you to slow down. Each roll has a fixed number of shots, encouraging you to be intentional with every capture. Once a roll is completed, your photos are printed and delivered to your door. Only after receiving them can you unlock and view your digital gallery, bringing back the anticipation and surprise of analog photography. Key features: • Shoot with a limited roll of photos • No instant previews — stay present in the moment • Physical prints delivered to your home • Unlock your digital gallery after receiving your photos • A more intentional and meaningful way to capture memories Latente is designed for those who want to take fewer photos — and make them matter more.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Latente at every 8 days against txplay's every 3 weeks. txplay's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
