Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Comic Star HD at none against Pilo Animation for Kids's shown. Comic Star HD also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 53%) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 17.4). Pilo Animation for Kids's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (807 vs 38). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pilo Animation for Kids holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pilo Animation for Kids has 807 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Comic Star HD's written reviews are positive against 53% of Pilo Animation for Kids's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
