Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GrusHome Video Streamer at Free against IP Camera Pro's $2.99. GrusHome Video Streamer also leads on rating (3.5 vs 3.0) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). IP Camera Pro's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 2). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
GrusHome Video Streamer is free to download; IP Camera Pro costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
GrusHome Video Streamer holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IP Camera Pro has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of IP Camera Pro's written reviews are positive against 50% of GrusHome Video Streamer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
