Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 16bit avatar at none against dotpict's 1. 16bit avatar also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.7). dotpict's advantage is ratings volume (787 vs 23) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
