Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MicVision at 100% against USB Camera pro's 46%. MicVision 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 17 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
