Which tool for which job

Retro Diffusion wins when you want generated, grid-aligned pixel art for sprites, characters, animations, or tilesets, with commercial use stated in the vendor FAQ.

Sprite Fusion wins when you are drawing 2D tilemaps in the browser and exporting them, and the free web edition's size cap is acceptable.
