Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Print at 100% against Lens's 17%. Print also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Lens's advantage is ratings volume (768 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
