Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Avigilon Unity Video holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Avigilon Unity Video has 124 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of InformaCast's written reviews are positive against 38% of Avigilon Unity Video's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
InformaCast ships an update every 6 weeks, Avigilon Unity Video every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
