# XR Viewer (Augmented Reality) vs AR Camera

The clearest difference is rating: AR Camera at 4.3 against XR Viewer (Augmented Reality)'s 3.7. AR Camera also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). XR Viewer (Augmented Reality)'s advantage is review sentiment (31% vs 18%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. XR Viewer (Augmented Reality) sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and AR Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AR Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 78 and 143 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of XR Viewer (Augmented Reality)'s written reviews are positive against 18% of AR Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
