When each one is the right tool
Use CamelCamelCamel if: you already have its flow set up and only want to capture checkout coupons, or if its specific value (amazon price-tracking site with historical charts.) is exactly what you need.
Use Magic Lupa if: you want a verified, no-bias result with the total price already computed (product + shipping + taxes − legal discounts), in any of the 29 covered countries.
They're not mutually exclusive — many users combine both.
