# SHARP Display Connect vs IP Camera Viewer

The clearest difference is rating: IP Camera Viewer at 4.1 against SHARP Display Connect's 2.3. IP Camera Viewer also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 3). SHARP Display Connect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and review sentiment (67% vs 39%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IP Camera Viewer sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. SHARP Display Connect asks for nothing beyond the download.

IP Camera Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IP Camera Viewer has 1.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of SHARP Display Connect's written reviews are positive against 39% of IP Camera Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SHARP Display Connect ships an update every 8 months, IP Camera Viewer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
