Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flashback Camera at none against Fuji Recipes's 3. Flashback Camera also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (528 vs 59). Fuji Recipes's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 40%) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
