Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pintu at none against Buttercam's shown. Pintu also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Buttercam's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 9) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
Both are free to download. Buttercam sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Pintu sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Buttercam holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buttercam has 1.3K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Buttercam's written reviews are positive against 43% of Pintu's.
