Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Stop Animator at 4.4 against Collage Lite's 3.2. Stop Animator also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months). Collage Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
