Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PBUp at 100% against The Picklr's 22%. PBUp also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). The Picklr's advantage is ratings volume (552 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
