# Camo Camera vs OBS Blade

The clearest difference is rating: Camo Camera at 4.6 against OBS Blade's 4.1. Camo Camera also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (7.5K vs 70). OBS Blade's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OBS Blade sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Camo Camera asks for nothing beyond the download.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camo Camera has 7.5K ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Camo Camera's written reviews are positive against 63% of OBS Blade's.
