Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Seeing at 4.6 against Hello Doorbell's 2.8. Seeing also leads on ratings volume (69K vs 13) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). Hello Doorbell's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Hello Doorbell sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and Seeing sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $28.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Seeing holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seeing has 69K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 25% and 26% positive.
Hello Doorbell ships an update every 8 days, Seeing every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
