Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PuzzleBits 2 at none against Pixcell's shown. PuzzleBits 2 also leads on ratings volume (59 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). Pixcell's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
