# Foscam Camera Viewer vs UniCam

The clearest difference is rating: UniCam at 4.5 against Foscam Camera Viewer's 2.6. UniCam also leads on ads (none vs shown). Foscam Camera Viewer's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Foscam Camera Viewer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and UniCam sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

UniCam holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 24 and 50 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Foscam Camera Viewer's written reviews are positive against 33% of UniCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Foscam Camera Viewer ships an update monthly, UniCam fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
