Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Panostory Pro at Free against XPics's $0.99. Panostory Pro also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). XPics's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16). On review sentiment, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
