Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Panostory Pro at Free against PXL's $3.99. Panostory Pro also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 32%) and iOS requirement (18 vs 26.0). PXL's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). On update cadence, ads and device support 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
Panostory Pro is free to download; PXL costs $3.99 up front. Panostory Pro sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. PXL asks for nothing beyond the download.
PXL holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PXL has 433 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of PXL's written reviews are positive against 71% of Panostory Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PXL ships an update every 2 weeks, Panostory Pro fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
