Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rollit at 73% against PhotoNotes's 29%. Rollit also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). PhotoNotes's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
