Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PumpWize at none against Model Paints's 2. PumpWize also leads on ads (none vs shown). Model Paints's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
