Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: XRCam at none against HomeEye's 18. XRCam also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 17%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). HomeEye's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
