Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FotoDa at Free against Fractalizer's $1.99. FotoDa also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (139 vs 6). Fractalizer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 8 months). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
