Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Valid at none against PicPet's shown. Valid also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and chart position (#17 vs unranked). PicPet's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 79%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
