Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Capture One at Free against LensPick's $1.99. Capture One also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (329 vs 13). LensPick's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 18%) and rating (4.5 vs 3.5). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
