# HashPhotos vs File Camera

The clearest difference is review sentiment: HashPhotos at 79% against File Camera's 33%. HashPhotos also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HashPhotos sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and File Camera sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HashPhotos holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HashPhotos has 2.5K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of HashPhotos's written reviews are positive against 33% of File Camera's.

HashPhotos ships an update every 10 days, File Camera every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
