Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flex Camera at none against Artcam's 2. Flex Camera also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 10 months). Artcam's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price there is nothing between them.
