Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Chroma Hue at Free against ViewExif's $0.99. Chroma Hue also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and review sentiment (82% vs 73%). ViewExif's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Chroma Hue is free to download; ViewExif costs $0.99 up front. Chroma Hue sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. ViewExif asks for nothing beyond the download.
ViewExif holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ViewExif has 283 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of ViewExif's written reviews are positive against 82% of Chroma Hue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ViewExif ships an update every 11 months, Chroma Hue fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
