# Divoom vs Pixel Grid Art

The clearest difference is rating: Divoom at 4.7 against Pixel Grid Art's 3.8. Divoom also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (12K vs 4). Pixel Grid Art's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Grid Art sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Divoom asks for nothing beyond the download.

Divoom holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Divoom has 12K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Divoom ships an update every 2 weeks, Pixel Grid Art every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
