Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Konstella at every 3 days against PickleTwits's every 6 weeks. Konstella also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 2). PickleTwits's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
