While the Kiyo Pro has the advantage of having a braided USB-C to USB-A cable, that cable is a lot shorter than the cable on the Facecam, which means that the closer it is to your computer, the better. But, if you have it mounted on a small or thin laptop, that added weight might eventually take its toll. That isn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things, especially because both the hinge and the mount that hold up the camera are pretty robust and manage to keep the whole thing in place. The Razer Kiyo Pro, at 196.3g, is a lot heavier than the Facecam, which is only 103g, and also top-heavy. One important thing some folks might find useful is the weight. But, last time we checked aesthetics is still a matter of personal taste, for the most part, so we’re leaving it up to you to figure out which look you like best. At the same time, we also appreciate the Elgato Facecam’s cuboid design with its rounded corners, rounded sides and concave anterior that give it a much more interesting look.

We love the spherical design that Razer has adopted for its webcams. The Elgato Facecam’s cuboid design is more unique.Winner: Elgato Facecam Razer Kiyo Pro vs Elgato Facecam: Design However, if it’s just a matter of saving as much money as possible, the Elgato Facecam has the advantage. We’re not trying to be evasive here, merely pointing out that it’s a matter of perspective (and again, your needs). But why spend $30 more on a webcam that might not be the most ideal for you?Īlthough on the flip side, $30 isn’t that much more if you’ll benefit more from the Kiyo Pro’s features like autofocusing, variable field of view, and HDR support – features that the Facecam doesn’t have. In fact, we’d put both in the premium price range. That isn’t to say that Elgato Facecam’s $169.99 (£189.99, AU$299.95) price tag is much kinder to your bank account. Razer Kiyo Pro’s wallet-whimpering $199.99 (£199.99, AU$329.95) isn’t exactly for the budget-minded, and already that makes a massive difference to some people. The Elgato Facecam is better for money-saving consumers.Razer Kiyo Pro vs Elgato Facecam: Price and availability
