Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: (Not Boring) Camera at none against FrameGuide's shown. (Not Boring) Camera also leads on ratings volume (5.6K vs 1) and chart position (#102 vs unranked). FrameGuide's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. (Not Boring) Camera sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and FrameGuide sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
FrameGuide holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: (Not Boring) Camera has 5.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
