# Quantiloop vs XinematiX

The clearest difference is rating: XinematiX at 4.6 against Quantiloop's 3.0. XinematiX also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (295 vs 38). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quantiloop sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and XinematiX sells 28 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

XinematiX holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XinematiX has 295 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Quantiloop's written reviews are positive against 54% of XinematiX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Quantiloop ships an update every 3 months, XinematiX fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
