Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 52 Shot at none against SetMyCamera Pro's 4. 52 Shot also leads on price ($5.99 vs $9.99) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). SetMyCamera Pro's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On ads there is nothing between them.
