Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HD E at 4.5 against CCTV Smart Viewer's 3.9. HD E also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). CCTV Smart Viewer's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 22%) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 10 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HD E holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CCTV Smart Viewer has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of CCTV Smart Viewer's written reviews are positive against 22% of HD E's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CCTV Smart Viewer ships an update every 5 months, HD E every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
