Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: NDI Player at fortnightly against 4XCamera Maker's every 4 months. NDI Player also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). 4XCamera Maker's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 25%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 4XCamera Maker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and NDI Player sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
NDI Player holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of 4XCamera Maker's written reviews are positive against 25% of NDI Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
4XCamera Maker ships an update every 4 months, NDI Player fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
