Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Manual Camera RAW at 5.0 against Pro Camera's 4.4. Manual Camera RAW also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 59%) and ads (none vs shown). Pro Camera's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 4) and chart position (#162 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
