Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BagTalk at none against Swiftgram's 1. BagTalk also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Swiftgram's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#192 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
