Please check this out, also for the people who have not tried creating a time-lapse photography! 'Onion Cam2' is the successor to 'Onion Cam'. The main difference is that 'Onion Cam2' now stores captured images in the app. Also, I was able to export it sideways.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Onion Cam2 at 4.5 against Stop Motion Maker's 3.8. Onion Cam2 also leads on ratings volume (5.5K vs 51) and review sentiment (63% vs 49%). Stop Motion Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
