Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PairCamera at none against SayCheese's shown. PairCamera also leads on review sentiment (53% vs 33%) and ratings volume (132 vs 13). SayCheese's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
