# Photo Timer+ vs Vibe Camera

Photo Timer+'s advantage is ratings volume (8.4K vs 14) and review sentiment (93% vs 75%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo Timer+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Vibe Camera sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Photo Timer+ against 4.6 for Vibe Camera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Timer+ has 8.4K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two.
