# Lidar Camera vs Night Vision

The clearest difference is rating: Night Vision at 4.1 against Lidar Camera's 1.0. Night Vision also leads on review sentiment (35% vs 4%) and ratings volume (517 vs 3). Lidar Camera's advantage is iOS requirement (13.4 vs 18). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lidar Camera sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days and Night Vision sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
