Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Camtro at 4.6 against Hello Doorbell's 2.8. Camtro also leads on ratings volume (75K vs 13) and chart position (#15 vs unranked). Hello Doorbell's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases 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 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.
Camtro holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camtro has 75K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of Hello Doorbell's written reviews are positive against 28% of Camtro's.
Hello Doorbell ships an update every 8 days, Camtro fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
