Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Xhome at 4.4 against IP Camera's 3.0. Xhome also leads on ratings volume (114 vs 2). IP Camera's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Xhome holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xhome has 114 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of IP Camera's written reviews are positive against 0% of Xhome's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IP Camera ships an update every 3 weeks, Xhome fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
