# RoadRec vs Dash Cam

The clearest difference is rating: Dash Cam at 4.4 against RoadRec's 1.7. Dash Cam also leads on ratings volume (776 vs 35). RoadRec's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dash Cam sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. RoadRec asks for nothing beyond the download.

Dash Cam holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dash Cam has 776 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two.
