# ProCam vs Motion Sensor

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Motion Sensor at none against ProCam's 9. Motion Sensor also leads on price ($4.99 vs $9.99) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). ProCam's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (64% vs 39%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
