# mCamView Z Plus vs V380

The clearest difference is rating: V380 at 3.1 against mCamView Z Plus's 2.6. V380 also leads on ratings volume (995 vs 5). mCamView Z Plus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. V380 sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. mCamView Z Plus asks for nothing beyond the download.

V380 holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V380 has 995 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of mCamView Z Plus's written reviews are positive against 15% of V380's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
