# MixCam vs DoubleTake

The clearest difference is rating: MixCam at 4.7 against DoubleTake's 3.4. MixCam also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (6K vs 503). DoubleTake's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MixCam sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and DoubleTake sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MixCam holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MixCam has 6K ratings behind it against 503, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of MixCam's written reviews are positive against 43% of DoubleTake's.

MixCam ships an update fortnightly, DoubleTake every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
