Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NCSS at none against LaCollage's 6. NCSS also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.2). LaCollage's advantage is ratings volume (548 vs 12) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.0 for NCSS against 3.9 for LaCollage.
