# LiveHome vs Camtro

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Camtro at 59K against LiveHome's 3.3K. Camtro also leads on chart position (#14 vs unranked) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LiveHome sells 26 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and Camtro sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $28.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Camtro holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camtro has 59K ratings behind it against 3.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of LiveHome's written reviews are positive against 28% of Camtro's.

LiveHome ships an update monthly, Camtro fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
