Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Plex Photos at Free against ImmichFrame's $2.99. Plex Photos also leads on ratings volume (292 vs 2). ImmichFrame's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 1.3) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
