Both are free to download. Cococam sells 49 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Cocoon Connect asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cocoon Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 19 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Cocoon Connect's written reviews are positive against 89% of Cococam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
