# Face Cap vs in3D

Face Cap and in3D both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 65% of Face Cap's written reviews are positive against 31% of in3D's. in3D's advantage is ratings volume (727 vs 139) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Face Cap sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and in3D sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

in3D holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: in3D has 727 ratings behind it against 139, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Face Cap's written reviews are positive against 31% of in3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Face Cap ships an update every 2 weeks, in3D every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
