# StickyCamera vs File Camera

The clearest difference is rating: StickyCamera at 5.0 against File Camera's 4.3. StickyCamera also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months). File Camera's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StickyCamera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and File Camera sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StickyCamera holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3.
