# Chic vs Kada Cam

The clearest difference is rating: Kada Cam at 4.7 against Chic's 3.8. Kada Cam also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 58%) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 49). Chic's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chic sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Kada Cam sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kada Cam holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kada Cam has 1.8K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of Chic's written reviews are positive against 90% of Kada Cam's.

Chic ships an update every 4 weeks, Kada Cam every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
