Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Heden VisionCam at 60% against Lens's 0%. Heden VisionCam also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (103 vs 2). Lens's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
