This app uses image recognition AI to automatically cut out images and generate composite images with background images. - It instantly processes images selected from your photo album or taken with your camera and automatically cuts out the subject. - Automatically cropped images can be saved in albums or within the app. - Manual image cropping is also supported; you can begin cropping an image by tapping it, drawing a selection around it, or long-pressing and dragging. - A composite image of the cut-out image and background image can be generated and then shared on social media, saved to a photo album, or sent via email or messenger. - It syncs with iCloud, so you can sync data with other devices such as your iPad. 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. Downloading the app is free. If it is determined that your device supports automatic image cropping using image recognition AI, you can use the function by purchasing an in-app purchase (Basic functions unlocked).

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Acsta at none against PickFace's shown. PickFace's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
