The clearest difference is rating: MiSmart Camera at 5.0 against UniCam's 4.4. MiSmart Camera also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 13) and review sentiment (50% vs 31%). UniCam's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (45 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
