Verdict
The clearest difference is price: AI Cam at Free against Wake's $0.99. AI Cam also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (30 vs 4). Wake's advantage is review sentiment (62% vs 40%) and device support (3 vs 1). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
AI Cam is free to download; Wake costs $0.99 up front. Wake sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and AI Cam sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AI Cam holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Cam has 30 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Wake's written reviews are positive against 40% of AI Cam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
