Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Shutter+ Canon Camera Remote at none against SayCheese's shown. Shutter+ Canon Camera Remote also leads on ratings volume (910 vs 13) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). SayCheese's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
