# V380 vs iSmCam

The clearest difference is rating: iSmCam at 4.0 against V380's 3.1. iSmCam also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). V380's advantage is ratings volume (995 vs 1) and review sentiment (15% vs 0%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. V380 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. iSmCam asks for nothing beyond the download.

iSmCam holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V380 has 995 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of V380'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.

V380 ships an update every 2 months, iSmCam every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
