Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iSmCam holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CamHi has 464 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of CamHi's written reviews are positive against 0% of iSmCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CamHi ships an update every 3 months, iSmCam every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
