Both are free to download. Arlo Secure sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Wansview Cloud asks for nothing beyond the download.
Wansview Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arlo Secure has 406K ratings behind it against 55K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Wansview Cloud's written reviews are positive against 57% of Arlo Secure's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wansview Cloud ships an update every 10 days, Arlo Secure weekly. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
