Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Webcams at none against Volve Vision's shown. Webcams also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Volve Vision's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 21 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
