# Face Cap vs Byplay Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Face Cap at 4.3 against Byplay Camera's 3.7. Face Cap also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Face Cap sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Byplay Camera sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Face Cap holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Face Cap has 138 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Face Cap's written reviews are positive against 67% of Byplay Camera'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, Byplay Camera monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
