Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Popart Studio at Free against PicBlender's $0.99. Popart Studio also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). PicBlender's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
