ZIGCAM vs IoT sensors
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
ZIGCAM
This app transforms your iPad or iPhone into a device that transmits real-time depth and camera data using NDI. It integrates seamlessly with development environments like Unreal Engine and broadcast applications such as OBS, allowing you to utilize LiDAR depth data and ARKit information in your preferred PC applications.
- Real-time NDI data transmission
- Emulates iPad/iPhone as data source
- Utilizes LiDAR depth data
- Supports ARKit data
- Integrates with TouchDesigner and Unreal Engine
- Secure and simple operation

ZIGCAM is an application for building virtual production prototypes and new visual production workflows. Using NDI and NDI metadata, it emulates the iPad and iPhone as devices capable of transmitting depth data and camera data in real time. Because it uses NDI, it can be used out-of-the-box with various development environments such as TouchDesigner and Unreal Engine, as well as broadcast applications such as OBS. With Tablet or Smartphone, you can use LiDAR's highly accurate depth data along with camera images in your favorite PC application. This application is also very simple and secure. This application will allow you to receive the following information to your PC or other device for as long as you want, but will stop all communication the moment you press the "Sending!" button in the application. ・Camera Data ・True Depth (Face Tracking) ・Smoothed Depth (LiDAR) ・Estimated Depth ・Various other ARKit data ZIGCAM provides real-time Face Tracking functionality using the TrueDepth API, but we do not collect, use, disclose, share, or retain any of this data.
IoT sensors

IoT sensors is a development app for visualisation of sensor data sent as JSON over BLE, TCP or UART. The sensor type is detected automatically, showing appropriate UI elements. Sensors can be shared with other clients by enabling bridge mode. – Thingy:91 temperature, pressure, humidity, air resistance, ambient light, accelerometer, impact, LED control – compass with 3D calibration, gravity, gyroscope, battery state of charge – JSON format for sensor data – connectivity: BLE, TCP, UART – bridge TCP to BLE or UART requires g_relay, gncom or compatible server, and allows multiple clients to share a single sensor – compatible with sensor samples from nano RTOS – new sensors can be added on demand

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IoT sensors at none against ZIGCAM's 1. ZIGCAM's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
