Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Camtro at 59K against LiveHome's 3.3K. Camtro also leads on chart position (#14 vs unranked) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LiveHome sells 26 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and Camtro sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $28.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Camtro holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camtro has 59K ratings behind it against 3.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of LiveHome's written reviews are positive against 28% of Camtro's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LiveHome ships an update monthly, Camtro fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
