Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pixel Widget at freemium against Smile Todo's subscription. Pixel Widget also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16). Smile Todo's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (19K vs 7). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
