Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: JSBox at 4.0 against Pixeur's 3.0. JSBox also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (85 vs 2). Pixeur's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. JSBox sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year and Pixeur sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

JSBox holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JSBox has 85 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of JSBox's written reviews are positive against 85% of Pixeur's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

JSBox ships an update fortnightly, Pixeur every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
