Clamshot

2011 is calling, it wants its camera back. Clamshot brings back the camera from your dual-screen console. Real 640x480 photos with all the noise of a tiny 2011 camera, and every photo comes with that "pi... ka-shak" sound. And on Apple's brand new iPhone Duo, it even folds just like the original console. Open it halfway for the viewfinder on top and the buttons on the bottom, or close it to shoot from the outside screen. On any other iPhone, you get the same camera on one screen. Remember 3D? Me neither, but we brought it back anyway. If your iPhone has two back cameras, Clamshot takes real 3D photos that wiggle in the album, and you can export them as .MPO files. Filters before filters were cool. Clamshot Plus unlocks all camera modes, along with manual controls and console themes. - Sparkle: blow into mic for sparkle effects - Low Light: for shooting in dim light - Pinhole: darkens the edges of your photo - Dream: soft and hazy - HD: sharp photos without any effects Plus is a one-time purchase with no subscription. Clamshot is free with no ads. It only asks to add photos to your library, never to see them, and it doesn't collect any data. Works with VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scantic at none against Clamshot's 1. Scantic also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
