Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pro Camera at 4.4 against Shutter Button's 3.6. Pro Camera also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 28%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). Shutter Button's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
