Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BVC Camera at none against HIDVCAM's 23. BVC Camera also leads on ads (none vs shown). HIDVCAM's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
