# Auto Camera vs Photo Timer+

The clearest difference is rating: Photo Timer+ at 4.7 against Auto Camera's 1.0. Photo Timer+ also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 40 months) and ratings volume (8.4K vs 1). Auto Camera's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.4 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
