Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 163Eye at none against V380 Pro's 10. 163Eye also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). V380 Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (5.5K vs 430). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
