# Kemo vs Canny Cam

The clearest difference is rating: Kemo at 4.6 against Canny Cam's 2.5. Kemo also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (92K vs 48). Canny Cam's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kemo sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Canny Cam sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kemo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kemo has 92K ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Kemo's written reviews are positive against 21% of Canny Cam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Kemo ships an update every 3 weeks, Canny Cam every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
