Both are free to download. iDocCam sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. CI View asks for nothing beyond the download.
iDocCam holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iDocCam has 42 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of CI View's written reviews are positive against 24% of iDocCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CI View ships an update every 6 weeks, iDocCam every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 3, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
