Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Superimpose+ at free with in-app purchases against PhotoScissors's subscription. Superimpose+ also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 45%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). PhotoScissors's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
