Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VISUALS at 4.7 against Photo Layout's 3.3. VISUALS also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (90% vs 63%). Photo Layout's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
