Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: yuCamera at none against Brushstroke's 16. yuCamera also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (11.4 vs 13.0). Brushstroke's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
