Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hexic Link at none against Pipe Pathway's shown. Hexic Link also leads on ratings volume (370 vs 65) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Pipe Pathway's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
