# BluetWave vs Camera Detector App

The clearest difference is rating: Camera Detector App at 4.4 against BluetWave's 2.5. Camera Detector App also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 18) and review sentiment (20% vs 0%). BluetWave's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BluetWave sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Camera Detector App sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Camera Detector App holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camera Detector App has 10K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of BluetWave's written reviews are positive against 20% of Camera Detector App's.

BluetWave ships an update every 3 weeks, Camera Detector App every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
