# CameraKit vs Camera Files

The clearest difference is rating: CameraKit at 4.7 against Camera Files's 3.0. CameraKit also leads on ratings volume (321 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). Camera Files's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 66%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CameraKit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Camera Files sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CameraKit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CameraKit has 321 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of CameraKit's written reviews are positive against 83% of Camera Files's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
