Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Elak at none against Pip's shown. Elak also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Pip's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
