Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hik at 67% against VideoEntry's 10%. Hik also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 2). VideoEntry's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hik sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. VideoEntry asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hik holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hik has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 10% of VideoEntry's written reviews are positive against 67% of Hik's.
VideoEntry ships an update every 7 months, Hik fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
