Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Live Webcam at 4.5 against Overview's 3.9. Live Webcam also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Overview's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 43%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
