Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Reolink at 10K against Sigma Mini's 4. Reolink also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#187 vs unranked). Sigma Mini's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 25%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
