Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Capture One at Free against Image Capture Go's $1.99. Capture One also leads on rating (3.5 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (331 vs 4). Image Capture Go's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.2 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
