TraffickCam enables you to help combat sex trafficking by uploading photos of the hotel rooms you stay in when you travel. Traffickers regularly post photographs of their victims posed in hotel rooms for online advertisements. These photographs are evidence that can be used to find and prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes. In order to use these photos, however, analysts must be able to determine where the photos were taken. The purpose of TraffickCam is to create a database of hotel room images that an analyst can efficiently search, in order to find other images that were taken in the same location as an image that is part of an inquiry.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
LiveWire · holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1.

Written reviews complicate that: 61% of TraffickCam's written reviews are positive against 0% of LiveWire ·'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TraffickCam ships an update every 5 months, LiveWire · every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
