# BooAlert vs Ghost Detector Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Ghost Detector Camera at 4.3 against BooAlert's 3.4. Ghost Detector Camera also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 31 months) and ratings volume (831 vs 15). BooAlert's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0).
