Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NeuralCam Aperture at 4.4 against BlackSight's 3.7. NeuralCam Aperture also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 45) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). BlackSight's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 51%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. NeuralCam Aperture sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and BlackSight sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
NeuralCam Aperture holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NeuralCam Aperture has 2.1K ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of NeuralCam Aperture's written reviews are positive against 73% of BlackSight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NeuralCam Aperture ships an update every 2 weeks, BlackSight every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
