Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bluecam Cloud at none against HomeEye's 18. Bluecam Cloud also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 17%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). HomeEye's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (38 vs 5). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
