# DateStamper vs DateCam

The clearest difference is ads: DateStamper at none against DateCam's shown. DateStamper also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 49%) and ratings volume (9.2K vs 15). DateCam's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DateStamper sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and DateCam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for DateStamper against 4.8 for DateCam. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DateStamper has 9.2K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of DateStamper's written reviews are positive against 49% of DateCam's.

DateStamper ships an update monthly, DateCam every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
