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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
mCamView2 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CamView Mobile has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of CamView Mobile's written reviews are positive against 33% of mCamView2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CamView Mobile ships an update every 2 months, mCamView2 every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
