Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MixCam at Free against Camera FrontBack's $2.99. MixCam also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 47). Camera FrontBack's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months). On rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
