Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dot Art at 5.0 against HalftonePix's 4.3. Dot Art also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). HalftonePix's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 55 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
