Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IP Camera Viewer at 4.1 against IPCTester's 1.0. IP Camera Viewer also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 0%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). IPCTester's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 15.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
