Verdict

The call

HashPhotos and Photo Declutter both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of HashPhotos's written reviews are positive against 47% of Photo Declutter's. HashPhotos also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 111) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). Photo Declutter's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
