Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Photo Editor Effects + Filters at free with in-app purchases against Filter It's subscription. Photo Editor Effects + Filters also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Filter It's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
