# Filterloop vs BlendCamera

The clearest difference is monetization model: BlendCamera at free with in-app purchases against Filterloop's subscription. BlendCamera also leads on ads (none vs shown). Filterloop's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 23). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Filterloop sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and BlendCamera sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Filterloop against 4.3 for BlendCamera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Filterloop has 13K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Filterloop's written reviews are positive against 80% of BlendCamera's.

Filterloop ships an update every 2 months, BlendCamera monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
