Features: - control ISO, shutter speed, and focus, or just use auto - select from a number of presets or create your own - enable/adjust edge blur, vignetting, hue shifting, chromatic aberration, color temperature, and more - all photos captured as Bayer RAW: -- No computational photography -- No luminance noise reduction -- No sharpening -- Authentic low dynamic range - save as JPEG or JPEG + RAW Since B&W RAW only captures RAW, only cameras that support RAW output will be selectable.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: B&W RAW at none against Simple RAW Camera's 1. B&W RAW also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
