# 8mm Vintage Camera vs 8mm+

The clearest difference is price: 8mm+ at Free against 8mm Vintage Camera's $3.99. 8mm+ also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). 8mm Vintage Camera's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 13%) and chart position (#39 vs unranked). On ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

8mm+ is free to download; 8mm Vintage Camera costs $3.99 up front. 8mm Vintage Camera sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and 8mm+ sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

8mm+ holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 389 and 280 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of 8mm Vintage Camera's written reviews are positive against 13% of 8mm+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

8mm Vintage Camera ships an update every 8 months, 8mm+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
