Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chain Pulse Lab at none against Pipixel's 4. Chain Pulse Lab also leads on ads (none vs shown). Pipixel's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
