# OLEDX vs Pixel Pulse

The clearest difference is rating: OLEDX at 4.6 against Pixel Pulse's 3.9. OLEDX also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5.2K vs 9). Pixel Pulse's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OLEDX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pixel Pulse sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OLEDX holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OLEDX has 5.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

OLEDX ships an update every 10 months, Pixel Pulse weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
