Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LuxCam at 4.8 against Selfshot's 3.9. LuxCam also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and ads (none vs shown). Selfshot's advantage is ratings volume (112 vs 6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
