Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pixel Works at Free against ArtiMesh's $12.99. Pixel Works also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). ArtiMesh's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#27 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
