# Mail Cam vs BigPic

The clearest difference is update cadence: BigPic at every 6 days against Mail Cam's every 9 months. Mail Cam's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mail Cam sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and BigPic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Mail Cam against 5.0 for BigPic. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mail Cam has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
