Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PyxMagic at none against Oxcam's shown. PyxMagic also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Oxcam's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
