Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iMotion Pro at none against ProCam's 9. iMotion Pro also leads on price ($5.99 vs $9.99) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). ProCam's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 32%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
