Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Lumber Flow at 4.9 against Pixel Crowd's 4.6. Lumber Flow also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). Pixel Crowd's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 45%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
