# Remote Mouse vs iVCam Webcam

The clearest difference is rating: Remote Mouse at 4.6 against iVCam Webcam's 4.3. iVCam Webcam's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remote Mouse sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and iVCam Webcam sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Remote Mouse holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 19K and 15K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Remote Mouse's written reviews are positive against 76% of iVCam Webcam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Remote Mouse ships an update monthly, iVCam Webcam every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
