Verdict
The clearest difference is price: VentureCam at Free against Hobbit Steps's $0.99. VentureCam also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.0). Hobbit Steps's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
