Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: IP Camera Viewer at 4.1 against TRENDnet CloudView's 2.3. IP Camera Viewer also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 46) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). TRENDnet CloudView's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
