Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Reflex at 67% against radcam's 30%. Reflex also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). radcam's advantage is ratings volume (39K vs 29) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. radcam sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Reflex sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
radcam holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: radcam has 39K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of radcam's written reviews are positive against 67% of Reflex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
radcam ships an update every 2 weeks, Reflex every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
