Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Paige at 100% against TD Snap®'s 31%. Paige also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and rating (4.6 vs 4.1). TD Snap®'s advantage is ratings volume (882 vs 13) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
