# AnyCamera vs OBS

AnyCamera and OBS both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of AnyCamera's written reviews are positive against 11% of OBS's. AnyCamera also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). OBS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (435 vs 3). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AnyCamera sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and OBS sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for AnyCamera against 4.4 for OBS. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OBS has 435 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of AnyCamera's written reviews are positive against 11% of OBS's.

AnyCamera ships an update every 2 months, OBS every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
