Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Camo Studio at 4.5 against YCamera's 2.0. Camo Studio also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 20%) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 68). YCamera's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
