Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pixabay at 57% against MP Art's 0%. Pixabay also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 4). MP Art's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
