# camRE vs Discreet

The clearest difference is rating: Discreet at 4.4 against camRE's 2.5. Discreet also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 15%) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 6). camRE's advantage is iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. camRE sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Discreet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Discreet holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Discreet has 2.1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 15% of camRE's written reviews are positive against 55% of Discreet's.
