# CI View vs iDocCam

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CI View at 100% against iDocCam's 24%. CI View also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). iDocCam's advantage is rating (2.4 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (42 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

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.
