Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hei at 100% against iPixel Color's 29%. Hei also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). iPixel Color's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
