# Dazz Cam vs mood.camera

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Dazz Cam at 117K against mood.camera's 549. Dazz Cam also leads on chart position (#20 vs unranked). mood.camera's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (93% vs 74%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dazz Cam sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year and mood.camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Dazz Cam against 4.8 for mood.camera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dazz Cam has 117K ratings behind it against 549, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of Dazz Cam's written reviews are positive against 93% of mood.camera's.

Dazz Cam ships an update every 2 weeks, mood.camera every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
