Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Patch at 100% against Image AI's 30%. Patch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks). Image AI's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (32 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
