# Self timer vs Camera 0.5

The clearest difference is rating: Self timer at 4.5 against Camera 0.5's 4.0. Self timer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). Camera 0.5's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (21% vs 0%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Camera 0.5 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Self timer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Self timer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camera 0.5 has 196 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Self timer's written reviews are positive against 21% of Camera 0.5's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
