# 360 Smart Camera vs TP

The clearest difference is rating: 360 Smart Camera at 3.3 against TP's 2.3. 360 Smart Camera also leads on ratings volume (364 vs 59) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). TP's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 360 Smart Camera sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. TP asks for nothing beyond the download.

360 Smart Camera holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 360 Smart Camera has 364 ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of 360 Smart Camera's written reviews are positive against 32% of TP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

360 Smart Camera ships an update every 6 weeks, TP every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
