Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Streamie at 4.5 against Foscam Camera Viewer's 2.6. Streamie also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 36%). Foscam Camera Viewer's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
