Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SPYPOINT at 4.3 against Reconyx's 2.8. SPYPOINT also leads on ratings volume (41K vs 9) and chart position (#105 vs unranked). Reconyx's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
