# MIPC vs TRENDnetVIEW

The clearest difference is rating: TRENDnetVIEW at 2.9 against MIPC's 2.1. TRENDnetVIEW also leads on review sentiment (27% vs 16%) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 11.0). MIPC's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 284). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MIPC sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and TRENDnetVIEW sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TRENDnetVIEW holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MIPC has 2.2K ratings behind it against 284, 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 27% of TRENDnetVIEW's.

MIPC ships an update fortnightly, TRENDnetVIEW monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
