# Mixel vs Drinkable

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Drinkable at none against Mixel's 10. Drinkable also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Mixel's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 26 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mixel sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Drinkable asks for nothing beyond the download.

Drinkable holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mixel has 1.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Mixel ships an update fortnightly, Drinkable every 26 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
