Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iSmCam holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dekco has 81 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of iSmCam's written reviews are positive against 24% of Dekco's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iSmCam ships an update every 6 weeks, Dekco every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
