Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: OSnap! Lapse & Motion at 4.6 against Stop Motion Maker's 3.8. OSnap! Lapse & Motion also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 49%) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 51). Stop Motion Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
