Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: TempCam at Free against Delayte's $0.99. TempCam also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 92%). Delayte's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 6 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
