Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SnapStudio Camera at 5.0 against NDI Capture's 2.7. SnapStudio Camera also leads on price ($1.99 vs $9.99) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). NDI Capture's advantage is ratings volume (47 vs 1) and chart position (#123 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
