Verdict

The call

Presets for Lightroom and Gloss Studio both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of Gloss Studio's written reviews are positive against 43% of Presets for Lightroom's. Gloss Studio also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Presets for Lightroom's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (81K vs 71). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
