Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iCamViewer at 3.1 against eyeCam's 1.0. iCamViewer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (35 vs 1). eyeCam's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 28%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. eyeCam sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. iCamViewer asks for nothing beyond the download.
iCamViewer holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iCamViewer has 35 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 28% of iCamViewer'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, iCamViewer every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
