# Carousel vs Digital Camera

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Carousel at 100% against Digital Camera's 0%. Carousel also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Digital Camera's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Carousel sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Digital Camera sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
