# iCamSee vs NetSee

The clearest difference is rating: NetSee at 2.7 against iCamSee's 1.0. NetSee also leads on ratings volume (18 vs 1). iCamSee's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (35% vs 20%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

NetSee holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetSee has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of iCamSee's written reviews are positive against 20% of NetSee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iCamSee ships an update every 6 weeks, NetSee every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
