# SecuritySpy vs UniCam

The clearest difference is rating: UniCam at 4.4 against SecuritySpy's 3.5. SecuritySpy's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 31%) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SecuritySpy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and UniCam sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

UniCam holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 86 and 45 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of SecuritySpy's written reviews are positive against 31% of UniCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SecuritySpy ships an update every 3 weeks, UniCam fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
