Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Pocket Love! at Free against Bubble Pig's $0.99. Pocket Love! also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (249K vs 83). Bubble Pig's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
