Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hanko at 5.0 against Double Exposure's 3.7. Hanko also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Double Exposure's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.8.3 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
