Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UVCPlayer at 5.0 against USB Camera pro's 3.2. UVCPlayer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). USB Camera pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
