Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Amongst Friends at none against Lacquergram's 4. Amongst Friends also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). Lacquergram's advantage is ratings volume (220 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
