Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GS at none against CamX's 4. GS also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). CamX's advantage is ratings volume (295 vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
