# FilmMeter vs Rewindpix

The clearest difference is rating: FilmMeter at 4.8 against Rewindpix's 4.2. FilmMeter also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Rewindpix's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FilmMeter sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Rewindpix sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FilmMeter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FilmMeter has 64 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of FilmMeter's written reviews are positive against 100% of Rewindpix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FilmMeter ships an update every 2 days, Rewindpix fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
