Both are free to download. ProCamera. Professional Camera sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and xZoom Cam sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ProCamera. Professional Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProCamera. Professional Camera has 11K ratings behind it against 570, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of ProCamera. Professional Camera's written reviews are positive against 75% of xZoom Cam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ProCamera. Professional Camera ships an update every 4 weeks, xZoom Cam fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
