# Face Cap vs CamTrackAR

The clearest difference is update cadence: Face Cap at every 2 weeks against CamTrackAR's every 3 months. Face Cap also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 55%). CamTrackAR's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 16.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Face Cap sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and CamTrackAR sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CamTrackAR holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 138 and 375 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Face Cap's written reviews are positive against 55% of CamTrackAR'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, CamTrackAR every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
