Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MergeEasy at every 3 days against Photo Editor's every 3 months. MergeEasy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Photo Editor's advantage is ratings volume (43K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
