# GhostEye Lite vs Security Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Security Camera at 4.5 against GhostEye Lite's 3.8. Security Camera also leads on ratings volume (159 vs 12). GhostEye Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Security Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. GhostEye Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.

Security Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Security Camera has 159 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of GhostEye Lite's written reviews are positive against 74% of Security Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
