Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DotThief at none against Pixaw Puzzle's 7. DotThief also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Pixaw Puzzle's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
