Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mycam at none against IP Camera Viewer's 14. Mycam also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). IP Camera Viewer's advantage is review sentiment (39% vs 22%) and device support (6 vs 3). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IP Camera Viewer sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Mycam asks for nothing beyond the download.
Mycam holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.2K and 2.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of IP Camera Viewer's written reviews are positive against 22% of Mycam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
IP Camera Viewer ships an update fortnightly, Mycam every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
