Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OBS 4K at 4.7 against Cam's 1.0. OBS 4K also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 1). Cam's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OBS 4K sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Cam asks for nothing beyond the download.
OBS 4K holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OBS 4K has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
