# iPixel Color vs YS Audio

The clearest difference is update cadence: iPixel Color at every 2 weeks against YS Audio's every 45 months. iPixel Color also leads on review sentiment (29% vs 0%) and ratings volume (387 vs 2). YS Audio's advantage is rating (3.5 vs 3.2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

YS Audio holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iPixel Color has 387 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of iPixel Color's written reviews are positive against 0% of YS Audio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iPixel Color ships an update every 2 weeks, YS Audio every 45 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
