# VHS Camera vs PrimePlayer

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VHS Camera at none against PrimePlayer's 3. VHS Camera also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). PrimePlayer's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PrimePlayer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.69 per month. VHS Camera asks for nothing beyond the download.

PrimePlayer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VHS Camera has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
