# iCam Pro vs SecuritySpy

The clearest difference is rating: iCam Pro at 4.3 against SecuritySpy's 3.5. iCam Pro also leads on ratings volume (288 vs 86). SecuritySpy's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iCam Pro sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and SecuritySpy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iCam Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 288 and 86 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of iCam Pro's written reviews are positive against 57% of SecuritySpy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iCam Pro ships an update every 3 months, SecuritySpy every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
