# Mobile Security Camera vs UniCam

The clearest difference is rating: UniCam at 4.5 against Mobile Security Camera's 3.7. UniCam also leads on ratings volume (50 vs 10). Mobile Security Camera's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mobile Security Camera sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and UniCam sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

UniCam holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UniCam has 50 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Mobile Security Camera's written reviews are positive against 33% of UniCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mobile Security Camera ships an update monthly, UniCam fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
