Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Zmodo at 2.0 against HeimSmart's 1.1. Zmodo also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 19) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 weeks). HeimSmart's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, 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. HeimSmart asks for nothing beyond the download.
Zmodo holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zmodo has 3.7K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Zmodo's written reviews are positive against 14% of HeimSmart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Zmodo ships an update every 8 days, HeimSmart every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
