Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: M Active at 2.8 against PIX's 1.8. M Active also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). PIX's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
