Verdict

The call

VideoLayout and CollaPic both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of CollaPic's written reviews are positive against 5% of VideoLayout's. CollaPic also leads on ratings volume (28 vs 4) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). VideoLayout's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
