# Gazing vs Camtro

The clearest difference is monetization model: Camtro at free with in-app purchases against Gazing's subscription. Camtro also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (74K vs 2.6K). Gazing's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gazing sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month 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 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camtro has 74K ratings behind it against 2.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 19% of Gazing's written reviews are positive against 28% of Camtro's.

Gazing ships an update every 2 weeks, Camtro fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
