Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Blur Background Photo Editor at 4.5 against TiltShift's 3.0. Blur Background Photo Editor also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 20 months). TiltShift's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
