Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Red Mobile at none against Zero Camera's 1. The Red Mobile also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Zero Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 18 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
