# SV3C Cloud vs Security Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Security Camera at 4.5 against SV3C Cloud's 2.7. Security Camera also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 42%) and ratings volume (156 vs 14). SV3C Cloud's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SV3C Cloud sells 25 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Security Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Security Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Security Camera has 156 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of SV3C Cloud's written reviews are positive against 74% of Security Camera's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
