# Hidden Camera Detector vs WifiScan

The clearest difference is rating: WifiScan at 4.6 against Hidden Camera Detector's 3.6. WifiScan also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Hidden Camera Detector's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 248). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Camera Detector sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and WifiScan sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WifiScan holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Camera Detector has 1.9K ratings behind it against 248, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Hidden Camera Detector's written reviews are positive against 17% of WifiScan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hidden Camera Detector ships an update every 3 months, WifiScan every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
