Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ShadeWave Mobile at Free against ProCam's $9.99. ShadeWave Mobile also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). ProCam's advantage is ratings volume (35K vs 6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
