Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SortSnap at none against VidCanvas's 1. SortSnap also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). VidCanvas's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
