# RXSmartCam vs UniCam

The clearest difference is review sentiment: RXSmartCam at 100% against UniCam's 33%. RXSmartCam also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 13) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). UniCam's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (50 vs 6). On price, update cadence, 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. RXSmartCam asks for nothing beyond the download.

UniCam holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UniCam has 50 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of RXSmartCam's written reviews are positive against 33% of UniCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RXSmartCam ships an update every 2 weeks, UniCam fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
