# JSBox vs Pixeur

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.

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.

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.

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