Both are free to download. Noiseware sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Adobe Lightroom for iPad sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Adobe Lightroom for iPad holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Adobe Lightroom for iPad has 51K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Noiseware's written reviews are positive against 37% of Adobe Lightroom for iPad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Noiseware ships an update every 3 months, Adobe Lightroom for iPad every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
