Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: FaceMagic at free with in-app purchases against Canon DPP Express's subscription. FaceMagic also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 17.0). Canon DPP Express's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
