Buy once, or pay nothing.
Each one is best at something different. Prices are for the US App Store.
Every feature, side by side| App | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|
| EditAll | One film look on your whole library, with Lightroom presets converted. | $25 once, or free with daily limits |
| Snapseed | A free editor for one photo at a time. | Free |
| Dazz Cam | A vintage camera for new photos and video. | $19.99 once |
| Darkroom | Deep editing with masks and color grading. | $99.99 once or $39.99 a year |
| Photomator | Pro editing of Apple Photos, on iPhone and Mac. | $119.99 once or $29.99 a year |
Subscription only.
Lightroom Mobile and VSCO sell their paid features as a yearly or monthly plan, from $49.99 a year and $39.99 a year on the US App Store. Both are excellent and both keep charging for as long as you use them.
What a one-time purchase means.
A lifetime or "forever" purchase on the App Store is tied to your Apple Account and restores on a new iPhone or iPad. Check whether it covers the Mac too, and whether it can be shared with your family: some do, and EditAll Pro does not at the moment.
EditAll also has monthly and yearly plans, at $3 a month and $30 a year, for people who prefer them. Every look and every editing control is free either way.
See it on your own photos.
EditAll is free to download. Your first 30 days include every Pro tool, and nothing renews when they end.
Questions
Is there a photo editor for iPhone with no subscription?
Yes. EditAll Pro is $25 once on the US App Store. Darkroom, Photomator, and Dazz Cam also have one-time purchases, and Snapseed is free.
Is there a Lightroom alternative without a subscription?
EditAll converts Lightroom presets and puts them on your whole library, with Pro at $25 once. It does not replace Lightroom's masks, lens corrections, or desktop catalog.
Do I lose my edits if I stop paying?
Not in EditAll. Your library, presets, and edits stay, and the free daily limits apply again to saving, sharing, and the camera.
