# Pixel Petz vs Daze

The clearest difference is rating: Pixel Petz at 4.8 against Daze's 3.9. Pixel Petz also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 57%) and ratings volume (10K vs 253). Daze's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Petz sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Daze asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pixel Petz holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixel Petz has 10K ratings behind it against 253, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Pixel Petz's written reviews are positive against 57% of Daze's.

Pixel Petz ships an update every 2 weeks, Daze fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 8, 2026.
