Shoot a second whenever something catches your eye. It piles up by tag, and when there's enough, it becomes a video. โ SHOOT FIRST Tap the shutter for 1, 2, 4 or 8 seconds, or hold it to keep shooting. Swipe the tags under the shutter and each cut lands in commute, cafรฉ, workout or whatever you set up. Turn the phone for landscape; selfies get a screen light. โ A CAPTION FOR EVERY CUT Tap the cut you just shot to add a caption. Five styles including handwriting, serif and a caption bar. Drag it anywhere or snap it to a fixed spot. The areas Reels and Shorts cover are shown in advance. โ WHEN THEY PILE UP, MAKE ONE Pick tags, a period, how many cuts and how to pick (spread evenly, one per day, most recent), and we choose the cuts. Remove, reorder or add others as you like. โ ON THE BEAT Pick a song and the app measures its beat from the preview, then ends every cut on a beat. Cuts are never stretched beyond what you shot. The song isn't added to the video; add the same song in Reels or Shorts and it lines up. โ LANDSCAPE AND PORTRAIT TOGETHER Landscape cuts in a portrait video, or portrait cuts in a landscape video, get margins: paper, white, black, lilac or blur, with the tag and time in the margin. โ POST We write a caption and copy it for you, then send the video through the share sheet. Save to Photos in one tap too. โ WITHOUT OPENING THE APP Shoot with a tag straight from a Home Screen widget, or grab a cut from the Lock Screen, Control Center or Action button without unlocking. There's a This Week widget too. โ YOUR PHOTOS BECOME CUTS We take the steadiest 2 seconds from Live Photos and videos and add them to a tag, keeping the date and place. No account, no server. Your cuts and videos stay on this phone. Song previews from Apple Music are used only to measure the beat.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Off the Reel at none against poby's 7. Off the Reel also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
