Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Thumbnail Maker For YouTube at 4.4 against CreateStudio's 1.0.

CreateStudio's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
