Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Disco Cam at Free against HDR's $1.99. Disco Cam also leads on rating (4.1 vs 2.4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). HDR's advantage is chart position (#183 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
