THIS APP REQUIRES A CLIP-ON FISHEYE LENS. Use theVRkit fish-eye lens to capture 360 Spherical Panoramas. You can buy it on www.theVRkit.com to produce high resolution full 360 panoramas (with floors and ceilings) to create 360 virtual tours. Built-in ultra wide lenses are indeed wide, but they only capture 2/3 of the vertical field of view and leave blind spots on top/bottom. Just clip the lens and make a full turn. Multiple images are taken, and stitched instantly on your phone, no internet connection needed. The result is amazing. theVRkit fisheye lens was specially selected for its field of view, clarity and sharpness. We have tested nearly all the lenses of the market, our lens will give you the best output. An optional electronic rotator allows for perfect captures. You can get professional quality VR images at the press of a button. Share the result on Facebook 360 or view it in VR Cardboard mode.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: theVRkit at none against Pro Camera's 6. theVRkit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (73% vs 59%). Pro Camera's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 9) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price 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
Both are free to download. Pro Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. theVRkit asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pro Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pro Camera has 4.3K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of theVRkit's written reviews are positive against 59% of Pro Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
theVRkit ships an update every 2 months, Pro Camera every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
