# Night Eyes vs TopInfrared

The clearest difference is rating: Night Eyes at 4.4 against TopInfrared's 3.5. Night Eyes also leads on ratings volume (21K vs 52) and review sentiment (65% vs 40%). TopInfrared's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Night Eyes sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and TopInfrared sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Night Eyes holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Night Eyes has 21K ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Night Eyes's written reviews are positive against 40% of TopInfrared's.

Night Eyes ships an update every 2 months, TopInfrared every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
