Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pixel Creator at none against Water Box's shown. Pixel Creator also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Water Box's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
