The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VSees at none against Cococam's 62. VSees also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (327 vs 26). Cococam's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
