# Invidyo vs Security Camera

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Security Camera at 74% against Invidyo's 17%. Invidyo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Invidyo sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Security Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Invidyo holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Invidyo has 1.3K ratings behind it against 156, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Invidyo's written reviews are positive against 74% of Security Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Invidyo ships an update every 2 weeks, Security Camera every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
