The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pixels Home at 5.0 against papalook's 3.5. papalook's advantage is ratings volume (41 vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pixels Home holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: papalook has 41 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of papalook's written reviews are positive against 0% of Pixels Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

papalook ships an update every 8 months, Pixels Home every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
