# MixCam vs iVMS

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iVMS at none against MixCam's 4. iVMS also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). MixCam's advantage is ratings volume (6K vs 75) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MixCam sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. iVMS asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for MixCam against 4.7 for iVMS. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MixCam has 6K ratings behind it against 75, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 54% of MixCam's written reviews are positive against 50% of iVMS's.

MixCam ships an update fortnightly, iVMS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
