Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Maxcam Connect at every 5 days against FeatherSnapCam's every 2 months. Maxcam Connect also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). FeatherSnapCam's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
