Both are free to download. ieGeek Cam sells 30 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. ViewLink asks for nothing beyond the download.
ViewLink holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ieGeek Cam has 1.6K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of ieGeek Cam's written reviews are positive against 0% of ViewLink'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, ViewLink every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
