Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GHOSTLINE at 68% against ThrashCam's 0%. GHOSTLINE also leads on ratings volume (353 vs 1).

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ThrashCam holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GHOSTLINE has 353 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of ThrashCam's written reviews are positive against 68% of GHOSTLINE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ThrashCam ships an update every 3 weeks, GHOSTLINE every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
