Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: pilotCam at 2.8 against X Smart Home's 2.2. pilotCam also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). X Smart Home's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (283 vs 9). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
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. X Smart Home sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. pilotCam asks for nothing beyond the download.
pilotCam holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: X Smart Home has 283 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of pilotCam's written reviews are positive against 14% of X Smart Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
pilotCam ships an update every 13 months, X Smart Home every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
