Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pixel Stars at none against Flat Pack's shown. Pixel Stars also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). Flat Pack's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 309). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flat Pack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pixel Stars sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Flat Pack holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flat Pack has 4.4K ratings behind it against 309, so its average is the more settled of the two.
