Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: CamX at 4.4 against ImageKit's 2.3. CamX also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 30%) and ratings volume (276 vs 53). ImageKit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
