Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Studio Color at none against Uplock's 6. Studio Color also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Uplock's advantage is ratings volume (125 vs 1) and device support (5 vs 3). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
