Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Thrivestone at Free against PsyCam's $2.99. Thrivestone also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 30 months) and ratings volume (28 vs 1). PsyCam's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
