# Nightcam Camera vs BlackSight

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BlackSight at 73% against Nightcam Camera's 23%. Nightcam Camera's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 44) and rating (4.1 vs 3.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nightcam Camera sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 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.

Nightcam Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nightcam Camera has 2.6K ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Nightcam Camera'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.

Nightcam Camera ships an update every 3 weeks, BlackSight every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
