# PixelSense for iPa‪d vs Topaz for Mobile

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PixelSense for iPa‪d at 75% against Topaz for Mobile's 22%. PixelSense for iPa‪d also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Topaz for Mobile's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 10). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PixelSense for iPa‪d sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Topaz for Mobile sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Topaz for Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Topaz for Mobile has 2.2K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of PixelSense for iPa‪d's written reviews are positive against 22% of Topaz for Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
