Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Geo at Free against Photon Library's $6.99. Geo also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Photon Library's advantage is chart position (#189 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
