# Candy Camera vs Sweet Face Camera

The clearest difference is ads: Sweet Face Camera at none against Candy Camera's shown. Sweet Face Camera also leads on ratings volume (33K vs 944) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). Candy Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Candy Camera sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Sweet Face Camera sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sweet Face Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sweet Face Camera has 33K ratings behind it against 944, so its average is the more settled of the two.
