Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: RefillNZ at none against Piece's shown. RefillNZ also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 35 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Piece's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
