Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: motî at 87 against Naksh Lens's 1. motî also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). Naksh Lens's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
