Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pro Camera RAW at Free against ProCam's $9.99. ProCam's advantage is ratings volume (35K vs 681) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Pro Camera RAW is free to download; ProCam costs $9.99 up front. ProCam sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Pro Camera RAW sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for ProCam against 4.5 for Pro Camera RAW. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProCam has 35K ratings behind it against 681, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of ProCam's written reviews are positive against 53% of Pro Camera RAW's.
ProCam ships an update every 9 days, Pro Camera RAW weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
