Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Unfurl at none against Collage Maker's shown. Unfurl also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (82% vs 62%). Collage Maker's advantage is ratings volume (177K vs 18) and chart position (#88 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
