# NetScan vs Hidden Camera

NetScan and Hidden Camera both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of NetScan's written reviews are positive against 0% of Hidden Camera's. NetScan also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NetScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Hidden Camera sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 94 and 180 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of NetScan'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.

NetScan ships an update monthly, Hidden Camera every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
