Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: B at 100% against Pixabay's 57%. B also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Pixabay's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 22). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pixabay holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixabay has 1.6K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Pixabay's written reviews are positive against 100% of B's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pixabay ships an update every 2 months, B every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
