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 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 12, 2026.
