# LookCamPro vs StarEye

The clearest difference is rating: StarEye at 3.0 against LookCamPro's 2.1. StarEye also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). LookCamPro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 18) and ratings volume (156 vs 18). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StarEye sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. LookCamPro asks for nothing beyond the download.

StarEye holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LookCamPro has 156 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of LookCamPro's written reviews are positive against 12% of StarEye's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

LookCamPro ships an update every 3 months, StarEye fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
