Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DayJam at none against Pixel Petz's 12. DayJam also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Pixel Petz's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Petz sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. DayJam asks for nothing beyond the download.
DayJam holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixel Petz has 10K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Pixel Petz ships an update every 2 weeks, DayJam every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
