X is free to download; Poison Ivy costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
X holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: X has 3.5K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Poison Ivy's written reviews are positive against 91% of X's.
Poison Ivy ships an update every 15 months, X monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
