# Yi iot vs Camera Detector

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Camera Detector at 50% against Yi iot's 5%. Camera Detector also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.1). Yi iot's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 215) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yi iot sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Camera Detector sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Camera Detector holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yi iot has 4.9K ratings behind it against 215, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 5% of Yi iot's written reviews are positive against 50% of Camera Detector's.
