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 OLDTV sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. 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 OLDTV. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PinOut! has 7.1K ratings behind it against 350, so its average is the more settled of the two.
