# Pikidex vs Cuty

Pikidex and Cuty both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Pikidex's written reviews are positive against 27% of Cuty's. Pikidex also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Cuty's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pikidex sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month and Cuty sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pikidex holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cuty has 5.2K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Pikidex's written reviews are positive against 27% of Cuty's.

Pikidex ships an update every 2 months, Cuty every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
