Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ScoreCam at 4.5 against Larix Broadcaster's 3.6. ScoreCam also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 131) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). Larix Broadcaster's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (56% vs 46%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScoreCam sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Larix Broadcaster sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ScoreCam holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScoreCam has 1.8K ratings behind it against 131, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of ScoreCam's written reviews are positive against 56% of Larix Broadcaster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
