Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: QCTek iViewer at 5.0 against IP Camera Lite's 3.1. QCTek iViewer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). IP Camera Lite's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (36 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
