Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: VSim at 85% against S Camera's 17%. VSim also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (17K vs 19). S Camera's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
