Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iCarView at 5.0 against XMEye's 2.9. iCarView also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). XMEye's advantage is ratings volume (879 vs 1) and review sentiment (11% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iCarView holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XMEye has 879 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of XMEye's written reviews are positive against 0% of iCarView's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
XMEye ships an update every 5 weeks, iCarView every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 26, 2026 respectively.
