Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pillow at none against STRIMIX's 3. Pillow also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 66%). STRIMIX's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (20 vs 4). On price and rating there is nothing between them.
