Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Picticular at every 4 days against Flixd's every 6 weeks. Picticular also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (115 vs 7). Flixd's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
