Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Frame Camera at 100% against iVideoCamera Lite's 44%. The Frame Camera also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 86 months). iVideoCamera Lite's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
