Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cinestudio at 5.0 against Metrograph's 4.5. Cinestudio also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Metrograph's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
