# SportCams vs Camera Controller Lite

The clearest difference is rating: Camera Controller Lite at 2.5 against SportCams's 2.0. Camera Controller Lite also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). SportCams's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and review sentiment (15% vs 0%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Camera Controller Lite sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. SportCams asks for nothing beyond the download.

Camera Controller Lite holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of SportCams's written reviews are positive against 0% of Camera Controller Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
