Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Sub Camera at Free against YoungPhoto's $1.99. Sub Camera also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 77%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). YoungPhoto's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
