# SelfieX vs Hey Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Hey Camera at 4.4 against SelfieX's 3.8. Hey Camera also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (801 vs 27). SelfieX's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
