Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Filter + Camera at Free against HDMI Cam's $1.99. Filter + Camera also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 17.6). HDMI Cam's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 9 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
