Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fast Camera at none against ProCam's 9. Fast Camera also leads on price ($4.99 vs $9.99) and review sentiment (83% vs 64%). ProCam's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (35K vs 697). On rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
