Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PapiDrive at none against PinOut!'s 1. PapiDrive also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). PinOut!'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 25 months) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 12). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
