# GIFscapes vs 0.3MP Camera

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 0.3MP Camera at 10K against GIFscapes's 8. GIFscapes's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 81%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GIFscapes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 0.3MP Camera sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for GIFscapes against 4.8 for 0.3MP Camera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 0.3MP Camera has 10K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of GIFscapes's written reviews are positive against 81% of 0.3MP Camera's.
