# Radar Detector vs Speed Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Radar Detector at 4.5 against Speed Camera's 2.5. Radar Detector also leads on ratings volume (152 vs 2). Speed Camera's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 33%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Radar Detector sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Speed Camera sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Radar Detector holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radar Detector has 152 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Radar Detector's written reviews are positive against 50% of Speed Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
