# mLiveViewLite vs LookCam

The clearest difference is review sentiment: mLiveViewLite at 100% against LookCam's 14%. mLiveViewLite also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ads (none vs shown). LookCam's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

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.
