Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PJFFfree at 5.0 against Pipe Tools's 4.1. PJFFfree also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 12 months). Pipe Tools's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (19 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
