Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: PinOut! at 7.1K against Turn's 168. Turn's advantage is iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads 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. PinOut! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Turn sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for PinOut! against 4.2 for Turn. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PinOut! has 7.1K ratings behind it against 168, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of PinOut!'s written reviews are positive against 71% of Turn's.
