Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PixPay at none against Buypower's shown. PixPay also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). Buypower's advantage is ratings volume (787 vs 27). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
