# Talking Camera vs ELMCheck

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ELMCheck at 100% against Talking Camera's 17%. ELMCheck also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.0). Talking Camera's advantage is ratings volume (42 vs 1) and iOS requirement (3.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talking Camera sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and ELMCheck sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ELMCheck holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talking Camera has 42 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of Talking Camera's written reviews are positive against 100% of ELMCheck's.
