# Double Exposure vs Deep Fried

The clearest difference is rating: Deep Fried at 4.5 against Double Exposure's 3.7. Deep Fried also leads on ratings volume (3.9K vs 28) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.8.3). Double Exposure's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 48%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Double Exposure sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Deep Fried sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Deep Fried holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deep Fried has 3.9K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Double Exposure's written reviews are positive against 48% of Deep Fried's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Double Exposure ships an update every 3 months, Deep Fried every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
