Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mod at 4.6 against Qixel's 3.6. Mod also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (34K vs 16). Qixel's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 53%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mod sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Qixel sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mod holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mod has 34K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Mod's written reviews are positive against 67% of Qixel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mod ships an update monthly, Qixel every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and June 7, 2026 respectively.
