# Kontakt Exposure Meter vs mood.camera

The clearest difference is update cadence: mood.camera at every 4 days against Kontakt Exposure Meter's every 16 months. mood.camera also leads on ratings volume (559 vs 8) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Kontakt Exposure Meter's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.1 vs 16.0).
