# Aosu vs Smart Security Camera App

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Security Camera App at 4.7 against Aosu's 3.7. Smart Security Camera App also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 751). Aosu's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 25%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aosu sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and Smart Security Camera App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart Security Camera App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 751 and 2.5K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Aosu's written reviews are positive against 25% of Smart Security Camera App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
