Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NCP at none against Lightning Camera's 5. NCP also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). Lightning Camera's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 25%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
