# iCamViewer vs IP116 Camera

The clearest difference is rating: IP116 Camera at 3.5 against iCamViewer's 3.1. IP116 Camera also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 14.0). iCamViewer's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (35 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

IP116 Camera holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iCamViewer has 35 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 20% of IP116 Camera'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, IP116 Camera every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
