# Eye4 vs IPEYE CCTV

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IPEYE CCTV at none against Eye4's 16. IPEYE CCTV also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Eye4's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 73) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating and review sentiment there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eye4 sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. IPEYE CCTV asks for nothing beyond the download.

IPEYE CCTV holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eye4 has 2K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Eye4's written reviews are positive against 20% of IPEYE CCTV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Eye4 ships an update monthly, IPEYE CCTV weekly. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
