# Pixelable vs Texting Theory

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Texting Theory at none against Pixelable's 1. Texting Theory also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Pixelable's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 3). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixelable sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Texting Theory asks for nothing beyond the download.

Texting Theory holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.
