The call

The clearest difference is rating: Divoom at 4.7 against Pixel Grid Art's 3.8. Divoom also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (12K vs 4). Pixel Grid Art's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
