The clearest difference is ads: AAAAXY at none against Ploink's shown. AAAAXY also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Ploink's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
