Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Polaroid at 61% against PicKit Printer's 11%. Polaroid also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.6) and ratings volume (19K vs 52). PicKit Printer's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
