Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pex at Free against Dot Line's $0.99. Pex also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Dot Line's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 4) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
