Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PinOut! at none against Can Knockdown's shown. PinOut! also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Can Knockdown's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 67%) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
