Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pixel Editor at 4.1 against Pixel Diffusion's 2.0. Pixel Editor also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 4). Pixel Diffusion's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (33% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pixel Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Pixel Editor's written reviews are positive against 33% of Pixel Diffusion's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
