The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TimeFlys at none against IllusionCam's 1. TimeFlys also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 16.4). IllusionCam's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 22 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
