Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Lacquergram at free with in-app purchases against MakeMaker's subscription. Lacquergram also leads on ratings volume (220 vs 2). MakeMaker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MakeMaker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Lacquergram sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
