Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 13! at none against Picture Cross's shown. 13! also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Picture Cross's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and chart position (#129 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Picture Cross sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 13! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
