Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: InkCapture at 5.0 against AppearMe's 3.9. InkCapture also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). AppearMe's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (26 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
