Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QRControl at none against Telemetry Camera's 1. QRControl also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 43%) and ratings volume (114 vs 34). Telemetry Camera's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
