Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: AI Image Generator & Editor at Free against Poetics's $2.99. AI Image Generator & Editor also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 10 months). Poetics's advantage is chart position (#81 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
