# CameraKit vs Shotlist.

The clearest difference is rating: CameraKit at 4.7 against Shotlist.'s 4.0. CameraKit also leads on ratings volume (321 vs 15) and device support (3 vs 1). Shotlist.'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

CameraKit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CameraKit has 321 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of CameraKit's written reviews are positive against 80% of Shotlist.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CameraKit ships an update every 2 months, Shotlist. fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
