Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: POINPY at 270 against Pintrs's 7. POINPY also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support. On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Pintrs sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and POINPY sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
POINPY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POINPY has 270 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pintrs's written reviews are positive against 95% of POINPY's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
