# HomeEye vs Bluecam Cloud

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 15.0). HomeEye's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (40 vs 5). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HomeEye sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Bluecam Cloud asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bluecam Cloud holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HomeEye has 40 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of HomeEye's written reviews are positive against 33% of Bluecam Cloud's.

HomeEye ships an update fortnightly, Bluecam Cloud every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
