Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Paper at none against PinKnockdown's shown. Paper also leads on update cadence (every 9 months vs every 37 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). PinKnockdown's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 45%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
