# OBSCam vs NDI Player

The clearest difference is rating: NDI Player at 3.8 against OBSCam's 2.3. NDI Player also leads on review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and ratings volume (18 vs 3). OBSCam's advantage is iOS requirement (13.6 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OBSCam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase 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 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NDI Player has 18 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of OBSCam's written reviews are positive against 25% of NDI Player's.

OBSCam ships an update every 2 weeks, NDI Player fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
