Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Blur Photo Editor at Free against Pixelizator's $0.99. Blur Photo Editor also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 50%) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 318). Pixelizator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On rating and device support there is nothing between them.
