# Find My vs Hidden Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Hidden Camera at 4.5 against Find My's 2.8. Hidden Camera also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 9 months). Find My's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Hidden Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Find My has 18K ratings behind it against 180, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Find My's written reviews are positive against 0% of Hidden Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
