Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vivitar Smart Security 2 at 4.7 against Instachew Infinity's 2.6. Vivitar Smart Security 2 also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 290) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13). Instachew Infinity's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Vivitar Smart Security 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vivitar Smart Security 2 has 14K ratings behind it against 290, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Vivitar Smart Security 2's written reviews are positive against 45% of Instachew Infinity's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Vivitar Smart Security 2 ships an update every 5 months, Instachew Infinity every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
