Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: PhotoNote at 4.4 against ChatStats's 3.1. PhotoNote also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 44%) and ratings volume (229 vs 26). ChatStats's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
