Rollcall

Ten photos of the same moment, and you only need one. Rollcall puts them side by side so you can keep the best one and let the rest go in one move. A SERIES BECOMES ONE CARD Photos taken seconds apart arrive as a single card. Tap Compare and see them side by side until one keeper is left. Take a last look, then let the rest go in one move. Videos filmed one after another get the same treatment. COMPARE WHAT YOU ALREADY KEPT Not sure you kept the right one? Pick a keeper to challenge and set another photo or video next to it. Keep one, keep both, or let both go. SWIPE UP AND DOWN DO WHAT YOU CHOOSE Favorite, sort it later, add to an album, share, compare, or trim a video. Pick one action for each direction in Settings. RIGHT TO KEEP, LEFT TO DELETE One photo fills the screen. Swipe right to keep it, left to mark it for deletion. Undo goes back as many steps as you need. NOTHING IS DELETED BEHIND YOUR BACK A left swipe only marks a photo. Everything waits on the Review screen, where you look the batch over and confirm with the standard iOS deletion prompt. Nothing leaves your library until you say so twice. FINISH YOUR CAMERA ROLL 15 free swipes every day, forever. Enough to feel real progress in a coffee break, small enough that you come back tomorrow. - No need to sort it all at once: one album, the last 30 days, a date range - Filter to screenshots, photos, or videos - Sort biggest first and hunt down the videos eating your storage - Pinch any photo open at full size; videos play in place YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS Rollcall runs entirely on your phone. No account, no server, no analytics, no network connections of its own. Purchases go through Apple; nothing else ever leaves your phone. The privacy label reads "No Data Collected" because there is nothing to collect. HONEST PRICING The 15 daily swipes are free forever, not a trial. Rollcall Pro removes the cap; every other feature stays free. Pay by the month, by the year, or once for life. No weekly plan, no trial that expires on you, no ads. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings; everything you sorted stays sorted.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TELLO at none against Rollcall's 3. TELLO also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Rollcall's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
