Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Baby Story at every 2 days against Baby Photo Editor's every 6 weeks. Baby Story also leads on ratings volume (145K vs 2.3K) and review sentiment (87% vs 73%). Baby Photo Editor's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
