Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Silenus at Free against Photo Colorizer's $1.99. Silenus also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 46 months). Photo Colorizer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and chart position (#197 vs unranked). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
