Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cibo at none against Camera Translator's shown. Cibo also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (57% vs 31%). Camera Translator's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 10) and chart position (#178 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Written reviews are what separate them: 31% of Camera Translator's written reviews are positive against 57% of Cibo's.
