Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Shutter+ Sony Camera Remote at none against SayCheese's shown. Shutter+ Sony Camera Remote also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 13) and review sentiment (55% vs 33%). SayCheese's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
