# bitwave vs NTRX Cam

The clearest difference is update cadence: NTRX Cam at weekly against bitwave's every 2 months. NTRX Cam also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. bitwave sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and NTRX Cam sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
