Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CloneX AI at 100% against Pixabay's 57%. CloneX AI also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Pixabay's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
