Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Remote Shutter at none against SayCheese's shown. Remote Shutter also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). SayCheese's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
