ShadowClone

This camera can capture afterimages of people with AI. It is possible to capture images as if a ninja had transformed into a shadow. Since AI is used to determine the person, no afterimages will be left on objects or animals other than the person. Afterimages can be added to videos that have already been shot, or afterimages can be added in real time. You can also choose to register the video with an afterimage in the photo library.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Mirror Day at every 22 months against ShadowClone's every 45 months. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
