# Timestamp Camera Basic vs Timestamp Camera

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Timestamp Camera Basic at 33K against Timestamp Camera's 263. Timestamp Camera Basic also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#103 vs unranked). 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 Timestamp Camera sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timestamp Camera Basic holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timestamp Camera Basic has 33K ratings behind it against 263, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Timestamp Camera Basic's written reviews are positive against 63% of Timestamp Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Timestamp Camera Basic ships an update every 3 weeks, Timestamp Camera fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
