Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SCN at none against Camera Cube's 7. SCN also leads on rating (3.4 vs 3.2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Camera Cube's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 68 months) and review sentiment (78% vs 63%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
