# Tape vs Continue Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Tape at 4.3 against Continue Camera's 2.8. Tape also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Continue Camera's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 30 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Continue Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Tape asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tape holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Continue Camera has 52 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Tape's written reviews are positive against 40% of Continue Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tape ships an update every 30 months, Continue Camera every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
