Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: ImagEra at free with in-app purchases against Lock In's subscription. ImagEra also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Lock In's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
