Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GlobalView at 5.0 against CamView Mobile's 4.0. GlobalView also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.2). CamView Mobile's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
