Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Pickl'd at free against Assignr's subscription. Pickl'd also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Assignr's advantage is ratings volume (9K vs 6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
