Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ready! Action at none against VirtualProductionCamera's 3. Ready! Action also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). VirtualProductionCamera's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
