Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Unleashed at Free against S3 Photos's $2.99. Unleashed also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months). S3 Photos's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
