Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pilo Animation for Kids at 4.1 against FB's 3.1. Pilo Animation for Kids also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (808 vs 28). FB's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price and review sentiment there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pilo Animation for Kids sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. FB asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pilo Animation for Kids holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pilo Animation for Kids has 808 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of FB's written reviews are positive against 53% of Pilo Animation for Kids's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FB ships an update every 3 months, Pilo Animation for Kids every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
