Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pencil Camera HD at none against New Year Photo Frames's 3. Pencil Camera HD also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 12 months). New Year Photo Frames's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On device support there is nothing between them.
