Instagram versus Picplz

Tweet

Photo sharing Apps are all the rage and there are lots of them.

I'm currently liking / using Instagram and Picplz: which one is best?

Picplz

Picplz.com from Mixed Media Labs (unlike Instagram) is available for iPhone and Android.

What I like

• The "out of App" experience: an easy to find profile on the web.
• Collections: being able to group other images into collections much like on Flickr but without the limit set by Flickr.
• Locations: being able to view images by venue (Foursquare) or venue on the web. For example: London or Cologne 
• View Recent or Interesting images.

What I don't like

• Lack of filters compared to instagram.
• Image format: I'd like to be able to keep the original format or crop it down to a square format if I wanted to.
• No hashtags :(
• No block feature. Though have been pretty quick to deactivate objectionable accounts. Hope that a block feature is added soon.
