Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Neon Pet Go at none against Pixel Pet's 6. Neon Pet Go also leads on ads (none vs shown). Pixel Pet's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
