Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: XMEye at 3.0 against RICAM's 1.7. XMEye also leads on ratings volume (887 vs 26). RICAM's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
