Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: VHS Cam at Free against Timecode Marker's $1.99. VHS Cam also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). Timecode Marker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
