Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ILoveIMG at Free against Aether's $2.99. ILoveIMG also leads on iOS requirement (15.3 vs 17.0). Aether's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#193 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
