Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Peekaboo Message at 5.0 against LightInTheBox's 4.5. Peekaboo Message also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). LightInTheBox's advantage is ratings volume (60K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
