Both are free to download. LookCam sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. mLiveViewLite asks for nothing beyond the download.
LookCam holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LookCam has 2.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of mLiveViewLite's written reviews are positive against 14% of LookCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
mLiveViewLite ships an update every 5 months, LookCam monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
