Both are free to download. DIHOOM sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $5.59 per month. minicam asks for nothing beyond the download.
minicam holds the better App Store score, 2.2 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: minicam has 126 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of minicam's written reviews are positive against 25% of DIHOOM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
minicam ships an update every 2 months, DIHOOM every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
