Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PixelWave at 89% against 酷架子鼓's 20%. PixelWave also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.0) and ads (none vs shown). 酷架子鼓's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
