Stop chasing "send me those pics". With Stackd, whoever took the photos sends the whole lot in one go, and everyone swipes through and keeps the ones they love. SEND A WHOLE STACK Tap +, drag across your photos to pick hundreds at once, and send them to friends or a group. It keeps uploading even if you leave the app. SWIPE TO KEEP THE BEST Swipe right to keep, left to skip. Near-identical shots are shown together so you can pick the best one. Close the app any time and carry on where you left off. SAVE IN FULL QUALITY The photos you keep save straight to your Photos as the originals, exactly as they were taken. The rest just disappear. GROUPS Share with the same people often? Make a group. Anyone in it can post a stack, and everyone else gets it to swipe. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Photos are end-to-end encrypted, so only you and the people you share with can see them. Not even Stackd can. • Stacks disappear after 7 days, or up to 30 if the sender gives them more time. • You only get stacks from friends you've accepted and groups you've joined. • Senders can see who has swiped, but never which photos you kept. • Report or block any stack, photo or person from the ••• menu. Photos upload on Wi-Fi only unless you choose otherwise, so Stackd won't eat your data. Terms of Use: https://stackdsocial.co.uk/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://stackdsocial.co.uk/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stackd at none against Clifie's 7. Stackd also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). Clifie's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
