Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Cheez at 4.6 against Whistle Camera's 3.9. Cheez also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Whistle Camera's advantage is review sentiment (34% vs 25%) and ratings volume (37 vs 12). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
