Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pixette at 4.8 against Video Maker's 4.0. Pixette also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (91% vs 64%). Video Maker's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 42). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
