# ieGeek Cam vs CodHome

The clearest difference is rating: CodHome at 5.0 against ieGeek Cam's 4.5. ieGeek Cam's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ieGeek Cam sells 30 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and CodHome sells 36 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CodHome holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ieGeek Cam has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of ieGeek Cam's written reviews are positive against 74% of CodHome's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ieGeek Cam ships an update every 2 months, CodHome every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
