Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SPOTLED at 2.7 against Pixely Glow's 2.3. SPOTLED also leads on ratings volume (160 vs 3) and review sentiment (45% vs 33%). Pixely Glow's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
