Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: POINPY at none against Last Pilot's shown. POINPY also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (280 vs 3). Last Pilot's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
