TontonCam holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 1.9.

Written reviews complicate that: 7% of WallPixel HD's written reviews are positive against 0% of TontonCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WallPixel HD ships an update every 2 months, TontonCam every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
