# Lofumi vs Capture

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Capture at 100% against Lofumi's 75%. Capture also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Lofumi's advantage is ratings volume (46 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lofumi sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Capture sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Capture holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lofumi has 46 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Lofumi's written reviews are positive against 100% of Capture's.

Lofumi ships an update weekly, Capture every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
