Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Webcams at 67% against Webcams's 0%. Webcams also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 1). Webcams's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Webcams sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and Webcams sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Webcams holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Webcams has 4.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Webcams's written reviews are positive against 0% of Webcams's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Webcams ships an update monthly, Webcams every 21 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
