Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dazz Cam at 4.8 against Camera's 3.4. Dazz Cam also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 33%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). Camera's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
