Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dribble. at 4.7 against PinOut!'s 4.2. Dribble. also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 67%). PinOut!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
