Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Lux Decibel Insight at Free against Camera Copy's $0.99. Lux Decibel Insight also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 43 months). Camera Copy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
