Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Text on Photo at none against ProCam's 9. Text on Photo also leads on price ($2.99 vs $9.99) and review sentiment (84% vs 64%). ProCam's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (35K vs 710). On ads there is nothing between them.
