Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AMG Lab Camera at none against Hornady Reloading Guide's 3. AMG Lab Camera also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Hornady Reloading Guide's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
