Verdict

The call

Jane and Collage Maker both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 92% of Jane's written reviews are positive against 48% of Collage Maker's. Jane also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Collage Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
