Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: CamX at free against QuickCam Camera's free with in-app purchases. CamX also leads on ratings volume (296 vs 5) and review sentiment (68% vs 50%). QuickCam Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
