Verdict
The clearest difference is price: campGEO at Free against Mancos's $2.99. campGEO also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). Mancos's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On rating, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
