Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SmartCtrl holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YimturmCam has 21 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of SmartCtrl's written reviews are positive against 12% of YimturmCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SmartCtrl ships an update monthly, YimturmCam fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 12, 2026.
