Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pro Photo Shoot at 4.1 against Model Mayhem's 1.6. Pro Photo Shoot also leads on review sentiment (32% vs 3%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). Model Mayhem's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
