# Horizon Camera vs ProShot

The clearest difference is price: Horizon Camera at Free against ProShot's $7.99. Horizon Camera also leads on iOS requirement (9.1 vs 15.0). ProShot's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.7) and review sentiment (74% vs 56%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Horizon Camera is free to download; ProShot costs $7.99 up front. Horizon Camera sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and ProShot sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ProShot holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProShot has 1.3K ratings behind it against 65, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Horizon Camera's written reviews are positive against 74% of ProShot's.

Horizon Camera ships an update fortnightly, ProShot every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
