# Pixel Labyrinth vs Block City 3D

The clearest difference is rating: Block City 3D at 4.5 against Pixel Labyrinth's 4.0. Block City 3D also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (594 vs 86). Pixel Labyrinth's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Labyrinth sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Block City 3D sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Block City 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block City 3D has 594 ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Pixel Labyrinth's written reviews are positive against 52% of Block City 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pixel Labyrinth ships an update every 10 months, Block City 3D fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
