Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: toriCAM at none against CamX's 4. toriCAM also leads on iOS requirement (11.3 vs 17.0). CamX's advantage is ratings volume (295 vs 9) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
