# CameraKit vs DSLR Clapperboard

The clearest difference is rating: CameraKit at 4.7 against DSLR Clapperboard's 3.4. CameraKit also leads on ratings volume (319 vs 24). DSLR Clapperboard's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, 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 DSLR Clapperboard sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CameraKit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CameraKit has 319 ratings behind it against 24, 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 59% of DSLR Clapperboard's.

CameraKit ships an update every 2 months, DSLR Clapperboard every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
