Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: IP Camera Viewer at 4.0 against GENBOLT CAM's 3.6. IP Camera Viewer also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 9) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). GENBOLT CAM's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IP Camera Viewer sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and GENBOLT CAM sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

IP Camera Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IP Camera Viewer has 1.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of IP Camera Viewer's written reviews are positive against 41% of GENBOLT CAM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IP Camera Viewer ships an update fortnightly, GENBOLT CAM every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
