Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Discreet at 4.4 against OneCamera's 3.5. Discreet also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 4) and review sentiment (56% vs 38%). OneCamera's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
