Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: sice. at 5.0 against PurpleThrone's 4.5. sice. also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). PurpleThrone's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
