Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: pCAM Pro at 97% against Predator's 7%. pCAM Pro also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.4) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). Predator's advantage is price (Free vs $34.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
