Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hidden msg at none against Long Screenshot's shown. Hidden msg also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). Long Screenshot's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
