Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: #gifted at every 6 days against Pindle's monthly. #gifted also leads on ratings volume (123 vs 19). Pindle's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 59%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
#gifted holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: #gifted has 123 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Pindle's written reviews are positive against 59% of #gifted's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pindle ships an update monthly, #gifted every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
