# eyeCam vs IP Camera Viewer

The clearest difference is rating: IP Camera Viewer at 4.0 against eyeCam's 1.0. IP Camera Viewer also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and device support (6 vs 3). eyeCam's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 39%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. eyeCam sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and IP Camera Viewer sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

IP Camera Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IP Camera Viewer has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of eyeCam's written reviews are positive against 39% of IP Camera Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

eyeCam ships an update every 3 weeks, IP Camera Viewer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
