# Pixelwoods vs Decolore

Pixelwoods and Decolore both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 55% of Pixelwoods's written reviews are positive against 39% of Decolore's. Decolore's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 774). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixelwoods sells 30 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Decolore sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Pixelwoods against 4.6 for Decolore. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Decolore has 5.3K ratings behind it against 774, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of Pixelwoods's written reviews are positive against 39% of Decolore's.

Pixelwoods ships an update every 3 weeks, Decolore every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
