Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Metapho at 4.6 against Image Info's 2.5. Metapho also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Image Info's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
