Flipcorder vs VHS Cam
Every look included, for $4.99 once.
VHS Cam gives single clips and photos a 90s look, with more looks behind PRO. Flipcorder films your whole day onto one tape, every look included. Here’s how they differ.
VHS Cam: PRO for life (paid yearly, three years would be $59.97). Its store also lists “Unlock Everything” and “Premium” at $2.99 each, which its description doesn’t explain. Flipcorder: $4.99, once. US App Store prices, checked .
