Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Flash Studio at 4.8 against SECA's 2.0. Flash Studio also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 25%) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 4). SECA's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
