ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
