# Spy vs Hidden Camera Detector

The clearest difference is update cadence: Hidden Camera Detector at every 2 days against Spy's every 4 weeks. Spy's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 91). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spy sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Hidden Camera Detector sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
