Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Image Compressor at none against Photochan's 2. Image Compressor also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). Photochan's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
