Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player at none against Camera 3D Pro's shown. Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). Camera 3D Pro's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Camera 3D Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 253 and 150 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Camera 3D Pro's written reviews are positive against 33% of Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Camera 3D Pro ships an update every 3 months, Simple 360 Cardboard VR Player every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
