Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Arty Mouse Shapes at 5.0 against Pango Factory's 4.2. Arty Mouse Shapes also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Pango Factory's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (58% vs 33%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Arty Mouse Shapes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pango Factory has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Arty Mouse Shapes's written reviews are positive against 58% of Pango Factory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Arty Mouse Shapes ships an update every 44 months, Pango Factory every 31 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
