# Smart Home vs UniCam

The clearest difference is rating: UniCam at 4.5 against Smart Home's 1.3. UniCam also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (51 vs 7). Smart Home's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. UniCam sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Smart Home asks for nothing beyond the download.

UniCam holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UniCam has 51 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Smart Home's written reviews are positive against 33% of UniCam's.
