Lense also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 232) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.4). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lense sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Party! Disposable Camera sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
