Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: LiveMic at Free against pixelizer's $0.99. LiveMic also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.7) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). pixelizer's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 0%). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LiveMic holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiveMic has 37 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of pixelizer's written reviews are positive against 0% of LiveMic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

pixelizer ships an update every 2 months, LiveMic every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
