Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Clare Video Plus at free against Eagle Eye Viewer's subscription. Clare Video Plus also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 159). Eagle Eye Viewer's advantage is review sentiment (42% vs 17%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Clare Video Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clare Video Plus has 1.1K ratings behind it against 159, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Eagle Eye Viewer's written reviews are positive against 17% of Clare Video Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Eagle Eye Viewer ships an update every 2 weeks, Clare Video Plus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
