Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: XMEye at 3.0 against CamHi's 2.7. XMEye also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). CamHi's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 11%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
XMEye holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 887 and 464 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of XMEye's written reviews are positive against 25% of CamHi'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, CamHi every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
