Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RePic at 4.2 against Recognize's 1.7. RePic also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (50% vs 41%). Recognize's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (51 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
