Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hei at 5.0 against ieGeek Cam's 4.5. Hei also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). ieGeek Cam's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
