Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ieGeek Cam at 84% against CloudEdge's 65%. ieGeek Cam also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3). CloudEdge's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (21K vs 1.6K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
