# App2Cam Plus vs Smart Security Camera App

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Security Camera App at 4.7 against App2Cam Plus's 3.7. Smart Security Camera App also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 13). App2Cam Plus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (48% vs 25%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Security Camera App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. App2Cam Plus asks for nothing beyond the download.

Smart Security Camera App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Security Camera App has 2.5K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of App2Cam Plus's written reviews are positive against 25% of Smart Security Camera App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

App2Cam Plus ships an update every 3 months, Smart Security Camera App every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on August 14, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
