# Blur vs Precious Pixels

The clearest difference is rating: Blur at 4.8 against Precious Pixels's 4.0. Blur also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). Precious Pixels's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blur sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Precious Pixels sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Blur holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blur has 14K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Blur ships an update every 2 months, Precious Pixels every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
