Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: AgBr at 95% against Camrote's 49%. AgBr also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and device support (4 vs 2). Camrote's advantage is ratings volume (545 vs 33) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Camrote sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and AgBr sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
