Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Mavis Camera at Free against Prismic's $4.99. Mavis Camera also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Prismic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
