Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nano Lens at none against Photo Compressor's 3. Nano Lens also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Photo Compressor's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
