안녕하세요. 소셜 미디어, Layer입니다. 소셜 미디어에서 우리는 소소한 일상을 낱낱이 기록하고 싶지만 동시에 행복하고 아름다운 사진만 보여주고 싶어하고, 힘들었던 하루를 하소연하고 위로받고 싶지만 남들을 피곤하게 하거나 남에게 나의 약점을 보여주기 싫어합니다. 친구들의 근황을 보고 연락하고 싶지만, 대화를 이어 나가는 것이 버거워 연락하기를 주저합니다. 소셜 미디어 안에서 우리는 복잡미묘하고 어딘가 모를 불편한 감정을 느낍니다. 지금까지의 소셜미디어에서 우리가 느낀 이런 불편함과 피로감을 해결하고자 Layer를 기획했습니다. Layer는 소셜 미디어가 우리의 가장 사적인 공간이면서 동시에 가장 공적인 공간이라는 점에 주목했습니다. 사용자에 따라 소셜 미디어를 활용하는 방식은 다르지만, 누군가와 연결되기 위함이라는 사실은 변하지 않기 때문입니다. 분명 우리는 연결되기를 원하지만, 그렇다고 항상 모두와 완전히 연결되기를 원하진 않습니다. 상황에 따라, 감정에 따라, 누구와 언제 어느 정도로 연결되고 싶은지가 다 다르기에, Layer는 다층적이고 유동적인 관계를 담을 수 있는 틀을 통해 연결의 시간, 연결의 범위, 연결의 정도를 사용자가 온전히 컨트롤하는 새로운 방식의 소셜 미디어를 경험을 제안합니다. 이제껏 우리가 오프라인에서 사람들을 만나고 이야기하고 헤어지는 것처럼 자연스럽고 익숙한 연결 방식이 이제 온라인 공간에서 새롭게 탄생합니다. 익숙하고 자연스러운 연결 경험을 위한 지금껏 없었던 완전히 새로운 소셜 미디어. 당신을 위한 가장 섬세한 네트워크, Layer를 경험해보세요.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Layer at 5.0 against Fanding's 3.7. Layer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8). Fanding's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Fanding sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Layer asks for nothing beyond the download.
Layer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fanding has 50 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
