Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Impossible Charge at free against Impossible Pixel's paid. Impossible Pixel's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
