Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: FanFrame at Free against PicFlash's $0.99. FanFrame also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). PicFlash's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
