Verdict

The call

SmartEyes_Pro holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of WebEye's written reviews are positive against 14% of SmartEyes_Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
