# Check 'em vs SecureCamera

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Check 'em at none against SecureCamera's 4. Check 'em also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). SecureCamera's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 4) and iOS requirement (16 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SecureCamera sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Check 'em asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Check 'em against 4.9 for SecureCamera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SecureCamera has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Check 'em ships an update weekly, SecureCamera fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
