Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: IP Camera Viewer at 4.0 against GanzView's 2.3. IP Camera Viewer also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 7). GanzView's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and iOS requirement (10 vs 15.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
