Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Capture One at 3.5 against Easy Release Pro's 2.3. Capture One also leads on ratings volume (329 vs 3) and review sentiment (18% vs 0%). Easy Release Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
