Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Reverse Image Search at 4.5 against EyeSpy's 1.0. Reverse Image Search also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). EyeSpy's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 11 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
