# Pixel 3D vs 3D Photo Editor

The clearest difference is rating: 3D Photo Editor at 4.7 against Pixel 3D's 3.9. 3D Photo Editor also leads on ratings volume (607 vs 16). Pixel 3D's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel 3D sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.49 per month and 3D Photo Editor sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

3D Photo Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Photo Editor has 607 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Pixel 3D's written reviews are positive against 80% of 3D Photo Editor's.

Pixel 3D ships an update every 9 days, 3D Photo Editor monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
