# Retro Camera! vs Self Portrait Camera Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Retro Camera! at 4.0 against Self Portrait Camera Pro's 3.3. Self Portrait Camera Pro's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Retro Camera! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Self Portrait Camera Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Retro Camera! holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 48 and 41 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Retro Camera!'s written reviews are positive against 20% of Self Portrait Camera Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and July 21, 2026 respectively.
