# ProCam vs Pro Camera

The clearest difference is price: Pro Camera at Free against ProCam's $9.99. ProCam's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Pro Camera is free to download; ProCam costs $9.99 up front. ProCam sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Pro Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ProCam holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProCam has 35K ratings behind it against 4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of ProCam's written reviews are positive against 58% of Pro Camera's.

ProCam ships an update every 9 days, Pro Camera every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
