Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Scene at Free against Secret Photo+Folder's $5.99. Scene also leads on rating (4.4 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (14K vs 4). Secret Photo+Folder's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
