Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FindElfl at none against Zmodo's 10. FindElfl also leads on review sentiment (17% vs 7%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). Zmodo's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 138). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Zmodo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. FindElfl asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 2.0 for Zmodo against 1.9 for FindElfl. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zmodo has 3.9K ratings behind it against 138, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 7% of Zmodo's written reviews are positive against 17% of FindElfl's.
Zmodo ships an update every 5 days, FindElfl every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
