Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Live Webcam at 43% against Webcams's 0%. Live Webcam also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 21 months). Webcams's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Webcams holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Live Webcam has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Live Webcam's written reviews are positive against 0% of Webcams's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Live Webcam ships an update every 2 months, Webcams every 21 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
