Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MiraCam at Free against Silhouette Hour's $1.99. MiraCam also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 17.0). Silhouette Hour's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
