Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Chromabeam at Free against Perspecto's $1.99. Chromabeam also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). Perspecto's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
