The clearest difference is review sentiment: Captured! at 100% against iDatabase's 52%. Captured! also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). iDatabase's advantage is ratings volume (513 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iDatabase sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Captured! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Captured! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4.
