# Split Camera vs Watermark

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Split Camera at 83% against Watermark's 21%. Split Camera also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Watermark's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Split Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Watermark sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Split Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Split Camera has 7.4K ratings behind it against 395, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Split Camera's written reviews are positive against 21% of Watermark's.
