# MIPC vs Zencam Security

The clearest difference is rating: Zencam Security at 5.0 against MIPC's 2.1. Zencam Security also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11). MIPC's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MIPC sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Zencam Security asks for nothing beyond the download.

Zencam Security holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MIPC has 2.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 16% of MIPC's written reviews are positive against 21% of Zencam Security's.

MIPC ships an update fortnightly, Zencam Security every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
