Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ToonCamera at 4.8 against Panostory Pro's 4.1. ToonCamera also leads on ratings volume (8.6K vs 22) and review sentiment (86% vs 71%). Panostory Pro's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
