# CPCam vs Muse

The clearest difference is monetization model: Muse at free against CPCam's freemium. CPCam's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CPCam sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Muse sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 CPCam against 5.0 for Muse. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 2 respectively. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

CPCam ships an update weekly, Muse every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
