Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: BlendCamera at free with in-app purchases against Blend's subscription. BlendCamera also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 56%). Blend's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 23) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blend sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and BlendCamera sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Blend against 4.3 for BlendCamera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blend has 3.6K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of Blend's written reviews are positive against 80% of BlendCamera's.
Blend ships an update every 8 days, BlendCamera monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
