Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PicoDash at 100% against HARM Invaders's 0%. PicoDash also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 34 months). HARM Invaders's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
