# BitCam vs NeoCam

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NeoCam at 100% against BitCam's 73%. NeoCam also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7). BitCam's advantage is ratings volume (92 vs 12) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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