Your first roll is free. After that you pay once and it’s yours. A film camera for your iPhone, on your own or with friends. Load a roll, watch it develop, and post it as one carousel. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Shoot a roll: 120, 35 mm or the Flash roll for nights out, plus clips, Live Photos and a camera on your Lock Screen. • Shoot together: start a shared roll for a night out or a trip, and friends join with one code or link. Everyone needs an iPhone or iPad, Grain Studio and iCloud; joining is free. Up to 20 people share its 12 or 36 frames, and nobody sees one until it develops for everyone at once. Nothing goes public unless you post it. Photos only, one shared roll at a time. It uses a little of the host’s iCloud storage until 30 days after it develops. • Develop what you already have: pick photos and clips from your library, choose a look, and get film grain and a soft glow. • Post it as it looks: each photo is made at the exact size Instagram and RedNote use, so nothing gets cropped or blurred. WHY IT STILL LOOKS LIKE FILM AFTER YOU POST Grain Studio adds grain measured from real film at the final post size, so it survives Instagram. HDR highlights stay bright. TRY IT, THEN PAY ONCE You buy one film camera all year, every year: no fee per event, and nobody but Apple holding your photos. Your first roll, 6 photos and 1 clip are free at full quality. Then try everything free for 7 days and unlock it with one purchase. No subscription, no account, and no charge when the trial ends. It covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS Nothing is uploaded to us and there are no analytics. A shared roll goes through your own iCloud, only to the people on it. Your originals are never changed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mamera at none against Grain Studio's 2. Grain Studio's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 days) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
