# Analog Camera vs Surface Camera

The clearest difference is update cadence: Surface Camera at every 2 days against Analog Camera's every 5 weeks. Analog Camera's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Analog Camera sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Surface Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Analog Camera against 5.0 for Surface Camera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Analog Camera has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
