And more... It supports Apple Intelligence Image Playground and can generate images. - The background is removed from the generated image to create an image for compositing. - The generated image can be used as the background for a composite image.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Screeny at every 2 days against Acsta's every 3 weeks. Screeny also leads on iOS requirement (18.5 vs 26.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
