Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: IP Cam Viewer Lite at 2.8 against D's 1.7. IP Cam Viewer Lite also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 6%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). D's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
