The clearest difference is review sentiment: Picture Keeper Connect at 94% against BroadwayHD's 13%.

Both are free to download. Picture Keeper Connect sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and BroadwayHD sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
