Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: XMEye Pro at 2.7 against PVMS Pro's 1.0. XMEye Pro also leads on ratings volume (411 vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). PVMS Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
