Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Painting Recognition at Free against Plotter's $0.99. Painting Recognition also leads on rating (3.6 vs 1.0) and review sentiment (37% vs 0%). Plotter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
