# The Frame Camera vs Focus Video

The clearest difference is rating: Focus Video at 4.7 against The Frame Camera's 3.9. Focus Video also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). The Frame Camera's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Frame Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Focus Video sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Video holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 68 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of The Frame Camera's written reviews are positive against 60% of Focus Video'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, Focus Video fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
