Verdict
The clearest difference is price: 2000s Cam at Free against PulseDrive's $1.99. 2000s Cam also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). PulseDrive's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
