What's the difference in the two Blue Iris software packages links?

I see two:

Foscam’s Blue Iris and another 3rd party. They appear to be similar but are priced differently and go to different sites and have different logos.

Blue Iris Software is the official site by the developer of the software.

Foscam has licensed the BI software from them so the can sell it with their camera’s and offer ‘added value’.

I do not believe there is a difference between the two versions.

Thank you for the quick answer. Is there a better method to purchase of either? ie more support, etc? I know one is cheaper.

Check ebay. You can buy a license there and download the software from the BI software site. Make sure you get a official reseller.

I would also go EBAY. I think I saw 40.00 on there.

After you have a license your support, download, updates and everything is the same. Software is available to everyone at the official BI website, you’r only paying for a serial or key no matter where you get it from.
