TagShot is a camera app that saves photos and videos straight into the folder you choose at the moment you capture them. Start shooting directly from a category card. Pick a folder first, then shoot. TagShot automatically sorts signs, receipts, work records, fitness progress, family photos, ideas, places, and reference images from the start. You can import existing photos, keep notes, date, time, and location, move photos between folders, customize folder names and colors, capture quickly from the Lock Screen widget, and protect your gallery with Gallery Lock. Use up to 3 folders for free. TagShot Lifetime unlocks folder limits, import, moving, custom colors, and Gallery Lock. Try the optional hands-on tutorial and restart it anytime from Settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: TagShot at every 2 days against Second Camera's weekly. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
