Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Glow Cam at 4.5 against Selfshot's 3.9. Glow Cam also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Selfshot's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (112 vs 12). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Selfshot sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Glow Cam sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Glow Cam holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Selfshot has 112 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Selfshot's written reviews are positive against 50% of Glow Cam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Selfshot ships an update every 6 weeks, Glow Cam fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
