Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: DiaryPic at Free against Dust's $1.49. DiaryPic also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 14 months). Dust's advantage is chart position (#198 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
