# Timestamp Camera Basic vs GPS Map Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Timestamp Camera Basic at 4.8 against GPS Map Camera's 4.6. Timestamp Camera Basic also leads on chart position (#116 vs unranked) and ratings volume (33K vs 7.8K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timestamp Camera Basic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GPS Map Camera sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timestamp Camera Basic holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 33K and 7.8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Timestamp Camera Basic's written reviews are positive against 62% of GPS Map Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
