Creating is simple! Take a photo or selfie with your camera, highlight or mask your subject and separate it from the background layer.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: PopAGraph at freemium against Square Sized's subscription. PopAGraph also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 61%) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). Square Sized's advantage is ratings volume (8.2K vs 301). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
