# Microphone Wireless vs OpenCam

The clearest difference is rating: OpenCam at 4.5 against Microphone Wireless's 3.0. OpenCam also leads on ratings volume (46 vs 4). Microphone Wireless's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Microphone Wireless sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and OpenCam sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OpenCam holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenCam has 46 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Microphone Wireless's written reviews are positive against 56% of OpenCam's.

Microphone Wireless ships an update fortnightly, OpenCam every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
