# SmartCam View vs Adorbee

SmartCam View and Adorbee both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 63% of SmartCam View's written reviews are positive against 25% of Adorbee's. SmartCam View also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 24) and ratings volume (73 vs 13). Adorbee's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Adorbee sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $0.29 per 7 days. SmartCam View asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for SmartCam View against 4.7 for Adorbee. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartCam View has 73 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two.
