Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Earth Editor at none against Pixel Creator's 1. Earth Editor also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Pixel Creator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). On price there is nothing between them.
