# Darkness Camera vs Hidden Camera Detector FindSpy

The clearest difference is rating: Hidden Camera Detector FindSpy at 4.4 against Darkness Camera's 1.0. Hidden Camera Detector FindSpy also leads on ratings volume (4.1K vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months). Darkness Camera's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Darkness Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hidden Camera Detector FindSpy sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Camera Detector FindSpy has 4.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Darkness Camera's written reviews are positive against 25% of Hidden Camera Detector FindSpy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
