Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RED_CONTROL at 4.1 against Vuer HDR's 3.0. RED_CONTROL also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 20%) and ratings volume (53 vs 8). Vuer HDR's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
