Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: GV at Free against IP Cam Viewer Pro's $4.99. GV also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4). IP Cam Viewer Pro's advantage is ratings volume (227 vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
