Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iCSee Pro at 2.3 against iSmartViewPro's 1.8. iCSee Pro also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). iSmartViewPro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iCSee Pro holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iSmartViewPro has 793 ratings behind it against 93, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of iSmartViewPro's written reviews are positive against 13% of iCSee Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iSmartViewPro ships an update every 2 months, iCSee Pro every 9 days. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
