Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WithLoveMessages at 5.0 against PSE's 3.9. WithLoveMessages also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). PSE's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
