Verdict

The call

Heden VisionCam and Ai258 both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 60% of Heden VisionCam's written reviews are positive against 18% of Ai258's. Heden VisionCam also leads on ratings volume (103 vs 4). Ai258's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
