# CameraKit vs Donna Pro

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Donna Pro at none against CameraKit's 3. Donna Pro also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). CameraKit's advantage is ratings volume (321 vs 14) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, 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. Donna Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

CameraKit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CameraKit has 321 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of CameraKit's written reviews are positive against 60% of Donna Pro's.

CameraKit ships an update every 2 months, Donna Pro every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
