Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Z CAM VR at 5.0 against PLAY'A's 3.6. Z CAM VR also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). PLAY'A's advantage is review sentiment (36% vs 0%) and ratings volume (55 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Z CAM VR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PLAY'A has 55 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Z CAM VR's written reviews are positive against 36% of PLAY'A's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Z CAM VR ships an update every 2 months, PLAY'A fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
