Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Skrbl at none against Pinblok's shown. Skrbl also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Pinblok's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
