Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TP at 2.3 against XRCam's 2.1. TP also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (59 vs 14). XRCam's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TP holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 2.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 59 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of TP's written reviews are positive against 33% of XRCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TP ships an update every 3 weeks, XRCam every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
