Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Easy Release Pro at 4.4 against Capture One's 3.5. Easy Release Pro also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (33% vs 18%). Capture One's advantage is ratings volume (331 vs 13). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
