Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iCamViewer at 3.1 against WiseView's 1.8. iCamViewer also leads on review sentiment (28% vs 13%). WiseView's advantage is ratings volume (820 vs 36) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
