A blast from the past! Capture your photos with a unique 1-bit camera: only pure black and pure white pixels, no grayscale! BitCam's interface is delightfully old school, featuring chunky buttons and mechanical sounds the likes of which haven't graced your screen in over 40 years. In Camera mode, three different pixel resolutions let you experiment, and an 8-color mode brings you a little closer to the current day while preserving the distinct aesthetic. Or jump over to the editor to dither any photo from your library and experiment with resolutely modern colors & gradients. Clean, high resolution PNG output means you can print those files, use them in digital collages, or other art projects. You can also now run BitCam natively on your iPad, and your Mac! And on Mac, you can install a system extension to use BitCam in any app that uses the camera: Zoom, FaceTime, Google Meet, WebEx, Photo Booth, etc. The camera mode is entirely free and unlimited. The editor mode offers a 3 day trial, after which it requires a one-time in-app purchase for full access, on all of your account's devices.

Frame your shot. unClick takes it. unClick is an autonomous camera for iPhone. No shutter button. You hold the phone, frame the moment, and unClick captures when composition, expression, and stability come together. ONE SLIDER A single sensitivity slider tunes how strict unClick is. Loose to catch every candid. Strict for portraits that need to be perfect. THREE INDICATORS Live bars show composition, expression, and stability as you frame. When all three align, the shutter fires. A subtle haptic. A soft tone. The shot is saved. SPEAK THE MOMENT Voice control for hands-free shooting: "start" / "stop" "flip" "take it" "silent" / "silent off" "zoom" / "wide" SILENT MODE No haptics. No sound. Pure observation. ON-DEVICE AI All analysis happens locally on your iPhone. No cloud, no servers, no images sent anywhere. ACTION BUTTON Assign unClick to your iPhone's Action Button (iPhone 15 Pro and later) for instant launch. FREE unClick is free. No subscription, no paywall. No ads. Built for photographers, and anyone who's ever missed the shot because they had to press a button.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: BitCam at 92 against unClick's 1. BitCam also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). unClick's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). 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 unClick sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
unClick holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BitCam has 92 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
