Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: V720 at 4.3 against HomeEye's 2.2. V720 also leads on ratings volume (4.8K vs 38). HomeEye's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (17% vs 9%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

V720 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V720 has 4.8K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of HomeEye's written reviews are positive against 9% of V720's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HomeEye ships an update every 2 weeks, V720 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
