# Zero Camera vs Black Screen Video Camera

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Zero Camera at 76% against Black Screen Video Camera's 25%. Zero Camera also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7). Black Screen Video Camera's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly).

Both are free to download. Zero Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Black Screen Video Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
