# Hidden Camera Detector vs Hidden Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Hidden Camera at 4.5 against Hidden Camera Detector's 3.6. Hidden Camera Detector's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 370). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases 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 Hidden Camera sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Camera Detector has 1.9K ratings behind it against 370, 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 14% of Hidden Camera'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 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
