Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: OpenCV Face Recognition at 100% against FaceFirst's 50%. OpenCV Face Recognition also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). FaceFirst's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads, 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
OpenCV Face Recognition holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FaceFirst has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of FaceFirst's written reviews are positive against 100% of OpenCV Face Recognition's.
FaceFirst ships an update every 2 months, OpenCV Face Recognition every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and June 8, 2026 respectively.
