Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TP holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TP has 365 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of CCTV Camera Pros Mobile's written reviews are positive against 63% of TP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CCTV Camera Pros Mobile ships an update every 11 months, TP every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
