Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CamHi at 2.7 against AC18's 1.8. CamHi also leads on review sentiment (25% vs 7%) and ratings volume (464 vs 19). AC18's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
