The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clippy at 65% against StableCam 3's 3%. Clippy also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (201 vs 5).

Both are free to download. StableCam 3 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Clippy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
