Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CamView Cloud at none against ViewCams's 1. CamView Cloud also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). ViewCams's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
