Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: PhotoGrid at freemium against InLab's subscription. PhotoGrid also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 60%) and ratings volume (118K vs 369). InLab's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PhotoGrid sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and InLab sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
