Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: mCamView2 at 5.0 against NUUO iViewer's 1.6. mCamView2 also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 25%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). NUUO iViewer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
