Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fing at 4.6 against iWFCam's 2.1. Fing also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 14%) and ratings volume (116K vs 140). iWFCam's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fing sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 3 months and iWFCam sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Fing holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fing has 116K ratings behind it against 140, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Fing's written reviews are positive against 14% of iWFCam's.
Fing ships an update every 4 weeks, iWFCam monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
