Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Safeview at 85% against HG Cam's 20%. Safeview also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.2) and ads (none vs shown). HG Cam's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
