Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PinOut! at 67% against Targets's 13%. PinOut! also leads on ratings volume (7.1K vs 378). Targets's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, 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. PinOut! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Targets sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Targets holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PinOut! has 7.1K ratings behind it against 378, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of PinOut!'s written reviews are positive against 13% of Targets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
