Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CDMS Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GWCAMVIEW has 532 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of CDMS Mobile's written reviews are positive against 48% of GWCAMVIEW's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CDMS Mobile ships an update every 8 months, GWCAMVIEW every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
