Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 21cam at none against Pins's 2. Pins's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 22 months) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 5). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Pins against 4.8 for 21cam.

Written reviews are what separate them: 94% of Pins's written reviews are positive against 96% of 21cam's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pins ships an update every 3 weeks, 21cam every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
