Blend Modes

While exploring how to use Blend Modes, I decided to create a simple app that demonstrated the interactions. This app is handy to have when deciding how you want your UI to look. Simply adjusting simple toggles and sliders shows you the interactions between bland modes, color inverts, compositing group, blur and opacity. Use this to quickly determine how these controls interact to make your UI look the way you want.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Blend Modes at none against API Bot's 1. Blend Modes also leads on ads (none vs shown). API Bot's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 29 months) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
