Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: STGO2 at none against Oxcam's shown. STGO2 also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). Oxcam's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 16 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
