Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PaintUp at none against ProKnockOut's shown. PaintUp also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). ProKnockOut's advantage is ratings volume (74K vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
