# Focus Chart vs CameraKit

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Focus Chart at none against CameraKit's 3. Focus Chart also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). CameraKit's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 16 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CameraKit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Focus Chart asks for nothing beyond the download.

CameraKit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CameraKit has 321 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Focus Chart's written reviews are positive against 66% of CameraKit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Focus Chart ships an update every 16 months, CameraKit every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
