Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Eagle Eye Viewer at 3.9 against X's 3.0. Eagle Eye Viewer also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (157 vs 2). X's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Eagle Eye Viewer holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eagle Eye Viewer has 157 ratings behind it against 2, 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 50% of X'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, X every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and June 26, 2026 respectively.
