Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PhotoMOS at none against Semiconductor Chips's 2. PhotoMOS also leads on ads (none vs shown). Semiconductor Chips's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
