Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Stash at 4.4 against Pepi's 3.5. Stash also leads on review sentiment (62% vs 38%) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 48). Pepi's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $5.99) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
