Verdict
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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Pins sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. 21cam asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Pins against 4.8 for 21cam. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pins has 1.4K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 94% of Pins's written reviews are positive against 96% of 21cam's.
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.
