Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pixilart at none against Draw A Pixel's 1. Pixilart also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Draw A Pixel's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
