# Timer Auto Camera vs PhotoBot

The clearest difference is price: Timer Auto Camera at Free against PhotoBot's $12.99. Timer Auto Camera also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1K vs 110). PhotoBot's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 48%) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Timer Auto Camera is free to download; PhotoBot costs $12.99 up front. Timer Auto Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PhotoBot sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timer Auto Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer Auto Camera has 1K ratings behind it against 110, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Timer Auto Camera's written reviews are positive against 83% of PhotoBot'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 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
