The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WalkPic at none against Campanion's 4. WalkPic also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days) and device support (4 vs 2). Campanion's advantage is ratings volume (40K vs 2). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
