Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Paint Scheme at 5.0 against HID Approve's 2.3. Paint Scheme also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). HID Approve's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (28 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
