Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hik holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 2 respectively.

EyeInCloud ships an update every 3 months, Hik every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
