ProgressCam
Read full descriptionHide full description
See your progress clearly. ProgressCam lines up every new photo with your starting photo, so your before-and-after photos actually match — same angle, same framing, real change you can see. Most progress photos drift: a little closer, a little higher, a slightly different angle — and suddenly you can't tell what really changed. ProgressCam fixes that at capture time. A ghost of your starting photo sits right in the camera, so you can stand in exactly the same spot and shoot a frame that matches it. CAPTURE THAT LINES UP • Ghost overlay of your starting photo, right in the viewfinder • Zoom and manual fine-tuning when you want full control • Smart alignment that registers each new shot against your starting photo IMPORT THE PHOTOS YOU ALREADY HAVE • Bring in older photos from your library and align them with the rest • Fix each photo's date right in the import grid • Reorder, choose your starting photo, and align the whole batch in one step COMPARE THE CHANGE • Side by side, slide to reveal, or tap to toggle between two moments SHARE IT BEAUTIFULLY • Six export formats: side-by-side, split, story, panoramic strip, grid collage, and slideshow • Add date, day-count, or label overlays • Save or share to anywhere KEEP THE HABIT • A reminder for each project: daily, weekly, on the weekdays you choose, every few days, or monthly • See all your reminders in one place in Settings → Capture Reminders YOUR PHOTOS, ALWAYS YOURS • "Save a copy of my photos" in Settings, or "Save a copy of this project" from a project's menu • Every photo, its aligned version and its details in one ZIP file that opens on any computer, without the app • It's free and doesn't use your exports FACE ID PROTECTION • Require Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode to open a project • Or protect the whole app APPLE HEALTH (OPTIONAL) • Turn on "Show weight alongside my photos" in Settings to see your weight from Apple Health in Progress Recap, on the same timeline as your photos • Read-only: ProgressCam never writes to Apple Health • Your weight stays on your iPhone and is never shared or exported YOUR PROJECTS, BACKED UP • Organize photos into projects, one per thing you're tracking • Sign in with Apple or Google, or use the app without an account • Optional cloud backup keeps your projects safe and synced across your devices • Delete your account and your cloud backup any time, right in Settings PROGRESSCAM PRO • Pro unlocks more projects and photos, multiple sides per project, unlimited exports, HD export with no watermark, and expanded cloud backup • Choose ProgressCam Pro Yearly, ProgressCam Pro Monthly, or a one-time Lifetime purchase • Yearly starts with a 1-week free trial for eligible new subscribers • If a subscription ends, you keep everything you made Start free and upgrade any time. Whether you're tracking a home renovation, a garden or plant, a skincare or hair routine, a pet, a creative build, or anything else you're working on — ProgressCam makes the change impossible to miss. ABOUT SUBSCRIPTIONS ProgressCam Pro Yearly and ProgressCam Pro Monthly are auto-renewable subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. A subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Lifetime is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://progresscam.app/privacy/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QuantLapse at none against ProgressCam's 1. QuantLapse also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
