Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: iCam Pro at free with in-app purchases against Streamie's subscription. iCam Pro also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Streamie's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 48%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
