# iCamViewer vs WebViewCam

The clearest difference is rating: WebViewCam at 4.5 against iCamViewer's 3.1. WebViewCam also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). iCamViewer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (36 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WebViewCam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. iCamViewer asks for nothing beyond the download.

WebViewCam holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iCamViewer has 36 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of iCamViewer's written reviews are positive against 17% of WebViewCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iCamViewer ships an update every 3 months, WebViewCam every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
