Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Google at free with in-app purchases against Image Recognition And Searcher's subscription. Google also leads on ratings volume (5.1M vs 13K) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Image Recognition And Searcher's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 59%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $0.89 per month and Image Recognition And Searcher sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Google against 4.5 for Image Recognition And Searcher. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google has 5.1M ratings behind it against 13K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of Google's written reviews are positive against 67% of Image Recognition And Searcher's.
