Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: cineSync at none against Pixel Art Camera's 3. cineSync also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Pixel Art Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
