Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: HashCamera at every 8 days against Obscure's every 2 months. HashCamera also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and price ($1.99 vs $2.99). Obscure's advantage is chart position (#182 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
