Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Manything at 56% against IP Camera's 6%. Manything also leads on rating (3.6 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (388 vs 2). IP Camera's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (8.2 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
