# Mixel vs Coupe

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Mixel at 1.5K against Coupe's 121. Mixel also leads on chart position (#68 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mixel sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Coupe sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Mixel against 4.8 for Coupe. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mixel has 1.5K ratings behind it against 121, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of Mixel's written reviews are positive against 81% of Coupe's.

Mixel ships an update fortnightly, Coupe every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
