Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Delayed Camera at none against Backbeat Cam's 1. Delayed Camera also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Backbeat Cam's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
