Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gospel Stream at none against PicMe's 9. Gospel Stream also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.2 vs 3.9). PicMe's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
