# Camera Connect & Control vs SayCheese

The clearest difference is ads: Camera Connect & Control at none against SayCheese's shown. Camera Connect & Control also leads on ratings volume (725 vs 13) and review sentiment (47% vs 33%). SayCheese's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and rating (4.2 vs 3.9). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Camera Connect & Control sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and SayCheese sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SayCheese holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camera Connect & Control has 725 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Camera Connect & Control's written reviews are positive against 33% of SayCheese's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Camera Connect & Control ships an update monthly, SayCheese every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
