Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Blur Photo Editor at free with in-app purchases against Point Blur's subscription. Blur Photo Editor also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 3) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). Point Blur's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
