Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Are at 5.0 against FotoDa's 4.0. Are also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 8 months). FotoDa's advantage is ratings volume (139 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FotoDa sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Are sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Are holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FotoDa has 139 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
FotoDa ships an update every 8 months, Are every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
