# iCam Pro vs UniCam

The clearest difference is update cadence: UniCam at every 3 weeks against iCam Pro's every 3 months. UniCam also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3). iCam Pro's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 33%) and ratings volume (289 vs 52). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iCam Pro sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and UniCam sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

UniCam holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iCam Pro has 289 ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of iCam Pro's written reviews are positive against 33% of UniCam'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, UniCam every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
