April vs SCRL

April is a photo collage app for Android and iOS that combines images with layouts, stickers, presets, and editing controls. It can select photos from a camera roll or other albums, and portrait recognition is intended to keep the chosen subject in place. Collages can contain one to nine photos in square, portrait, or landscape layouts, with sections resized by dragging. Users can adjust border width, color, texture, margins, and corner degree, then rotate, mirror, flip, or zoom photos. More than 40 filters are available, with controls for effect strength. Stickers and customizable tiles can add time, date, city, and weather. PicStrip offers full-view and large-view previews while users adjust individual images in the wider collage. April supports JPG and PNG exports and says it integrates with Instagram and Facebook for one-tap sharing. The app is free, with a monthly April VIP subscription at $1.99 a month. April is intended for personal, non-commercial use unless separately agreed with Pinguo.

SCRL is a social media design platform for creators making posts and carousels. Users can switch between formats, preview designs, and upload posts to social media. The homepage describes projects with up to 20 slides, while the free Basic plan limits projects to 10 slides and includes limited templates. Ready-made designs are powered by a community of creators. Premium lists advanced creation tools, unlimited templates, up to 20 slides per project, and video layers; its price is not shown on the page. A seven-day Premium trial is available on Android and iOS. SCRL says it handles media, captions, and scheduling details for scheduled posts to a connected Instagram account. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web. Its privacy policy says it complies with GDPR, does not sell personal information, and encrypts data in transit and at rest. The policy also says AI prompts are logged for analytics but are not used to train its AI models. SCRL is operated by Appostrophe AB, based in Stockholm, Sweden.
