Cam

Cam Era turns your iPhone into the digital camera you grew up with. no ugly skin sharpening. no janky HDR. no computational photography. skip the over-processing. your photos come out looking like they were taken on a camera, not a phone. choose between 4K, HD, and SD resolution. add bloom, chromatic aberration, film grain, and lens vignette for the full analog look. burn the date into your photos like a real camera date-back. choose your font, color, format, and style. skeuomorphic design with physical shutter button, zoom rocker, flash toggle. tap to focus. add stickers because why not. no two cameras look the same.
Always Cam

Always Cam features an always-on viewfinder, even while reviewing a photo, so you never miss a moment. Instead of pinch to zoom, one-touch anywhere on the photo for a 100% view, handy for checking blur, etc. Framing with a small viewfinder actually helps with composition, so your shots will look more professional.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Always Cam at Free against Cam's $2.99. Cam's advantage is chart position (#192 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.4). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
