Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ToonCamera at 4.8 against Chroma Hue's 4.1. ToonCamera also leads on ratings volume (8.6K vs 26) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Chroma Hue's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
