# My Pixels vs Pixelicious

The clearest difference is ads: My Pixels at none against Pixelicious's shown. My Pixels also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 6) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Pixelicious's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Pixels sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Pixelicious sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My Pixels holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Pixels has 1.5K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of My Pixels's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pixelicious's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

My Pixels ships an update monthly, Pixelicious every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
