# Hidden Camera Detector vs Security Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Security Camera at 4.5 against Hidden Camera Detector's 3.6. Hidden Camera Detector's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 297). 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 Security Camera sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Security 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 1.8K ratings behind it against 297, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 21% of Hidden Camera Detector's written reviews are positive against 25% of Security Camera's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
