Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Packz at 20K against Play Swipe's 3. Packz also leads on chart position (#1 vs unranked). Play Swipe's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
