Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PlaybookMax at 5.0 against Pixellot Control's 1.7. PlaybookMax also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Pixellot Control's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (24 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
