Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Lenna at 4.9 against EZ's 4.0. Lenna also leads on ratings volume (119 vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). EZ's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
