Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Grungetastic at 81% against DuetCam's 32%. Grungetastic also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (188 vs 27). DuetCam's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
