# GENBOLT CAM vs Security Blink Detector

The clearest difference is rating: Security Blink Detector at 4.5 against GENBOLT CAM's 3.5. Security Blink Detector also leads on ratings volume (295 vs 6) and review sentiment (50% vs 39%). GENBOLT CAM's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GENBOLT CAM sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Security Blink 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.
