# WCam vs USB Camera

The clearest difference is rating: USB Camera at 2.7 against WCam's 1.0. USB Camera also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). WCam's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

USB Camera holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: USB Camera has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WCam ships an update every 15 months, USB Camera fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
