# Depth Cam vs Night Vision

Depth Cam's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and chart position (#167 vs unranked). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Night Vision is free to download; Depth Cam costs $4.99 up front. Night Vision sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Depth Cam asks for nothing beyond the download.

Night Vision holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.9.
