Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VR at 5.0 against Camera 3D Pro's 4.0. VR also leads on ads (none vs shown). Camera 3D Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 31 months) and ratings volume (252 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Camera 3D Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and VR sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
VR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camera 3D Pro has 252 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Camera 3D Pro ships an update every 3 months, VR every 31 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
