Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Frame Camera at 100% against Retro Camera +'s 71%. Retro Camera +'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (141 vs 13). On price, 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
Both are free to download. The Frame Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Retro Camera + sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Retro Camera + holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Retro Camera + has 141 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of The Frame Camera's written reviews are positive against 71% of Retro Camera +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Frame Camera ships an update every 4 months, Retro Camera + every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
