Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PhoneBaseB at none against iVCam Webcam's 3. PhoneBaseB also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). iVCam Webcam's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.6). On price there is nothing between them.
