Both are free to download. eyeCam sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. USB Camera pro asks for nothing beyond the download.
USB Camera pro holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: USB Camera pro has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of eyeCam's written reviews are positive against 46% of USB Camera pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
eyeCam ships an update every 3 weeks, USB Camera pro every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
