# Epson iProjection vs iDocCam

The clearest difference is rating: Epson iProjection at 4.3 against iDocCam's 2.4. Epson iProjection also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). iDocCam's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iDocCam sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Epson iProjection asks for nothing beyond the download.

Epson iProjection holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epson iProjection has 3.4K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Epson iProjection's written reviews are positive against 24% of iDocCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Epson iProjection ships an update every 6 months, iDocCam every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
