Verdict
The clearest difference is price: LiveCraft at Free against PhotoLayers Pro's $4.99. LiveCraft also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). PhotoLayers Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#147 vs unranked). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
