# InShot vs Continue Camera

The clearest difference is review sentiment: InShot at 86% against Continue Camera's 40%. InShot also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InShot sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Continue Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

InShot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InShot has 2.5M ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of InShot's written reviews are positive against 40% of Continue Camera's.

InShot ships an update fortnightly, Continue Camera every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
