Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Server tester at none against PixShrink's 3. Server tester also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 1). PixShrink's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
