Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: SnapToGif at free against DesignPass's paid. SnapToGif also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 27.0). DesignPass's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
