Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: M at 100% against Angelcam's 50%. M also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Angelcam's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (238 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Angelcam holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Angelcam has 238 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Angelcam's written reviews are positive against 100% of M's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Angelcam ships an update every 2 months, M every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
