Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Timestamp Camera at none against MarkCam's shown. Timestamp Camera also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). MarkCam's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
