Which should you choose?

If your priority is portrait filters, ageing previews, fun social edits and quick selfie retouching, FaceApp is the stronger pick. If instead you care more about old photo restoration, portrait cleanup, colourising family pictures and video sharpening, go with Remini. For most people, trying both on a free tier is the fastest way to decide - they serve the same AI Everyday & Lifestyle space but differ in workflow and output style.
