# Alfred Camera vs CloudPlus

The clearest difference is ads: CloudPlus at none against Alfred Camera's shown. CloudPlus also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 53%). Alfred Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (112K vs 1.4K). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alfred Camera sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and CloudPlus sells 32 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Alfred Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alfred Camera has 112K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Alfred Camera's written reviews are positive against 82% of CloudPlus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Alfred Camera ships an update every 8 days, CloudPlus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
