Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mavis Camera at none against Pro Camera's shown. Pro Camera's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 742) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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
Both are free to download. Mavis Camera sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per 7 days and Pro Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. 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 Mavis Camera against 4.4 for Pro Camera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pro Camera has 4K ratings behind it against 742, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 59% and 58% positive.
Mavis Camera ships an update fortnightly, Pro Camera every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
