Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Fontise. at Free against iPCamera's $1.99. Fontise. also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17). iPCamera's advantage is rating (2.7 vs 1.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Fontise. is free to download; iPCamera costs $1.99 up front. Fontise. sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. iPCamera asks for nothing beyond the download.
iPCamera holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iPCamera has 50 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of iPCamera's written reviews are positive against 50% of Fontise.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
