Chic - Creative Film Camera Restore the texture and color of the film camera, while using the image technology to give the film camera more ways to play Added hot image elements, such as light and shadow, bubbles, bling, etc. to create a variety of ways to play with the camera and take high quality portrait photos easily. "Light Leakage Capsule" gives your photos a different feeling with random light, helping you capture a good story. "Smart B" is a bubble light spot in the summer by smelling the blue in the wind of Kamakura. "Millennium Disco" is a glittering millennial party that sets off a wave of Y2K. The film camera is a great tool for minivlog to record the fragments of daily life. "Summer Art Museum" is a low-fidelity and oil-painted color fragment of life. "LofiLive" is a low-fidelity view combined with overlay frames to record the most comfortable fragments of life. "Livelog" is inspired by Super 8mm, a projector that turns photos into negative movies and records every ordinary thing for you. We will continue to release new camera themes to help you record your life with a more interesting negative camera, please look forward to it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Girlscam at 4.7 against Chic's 3.8. Girlscam also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 58%) and ratings volume (809 vs 49). Chic's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Girlscam sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and Chic sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Girlscam holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Girlscam has 809 ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Girlscam's written reviews are positive against 58% of Chic's.
Girlscam ships an update every 2 months, Chic every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
