PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your text, photos, and wallpaper draft are processed on your device. No account is required, and PinWall includes no ads or third-party analytics SDKs. PinWall supports portrait iPhone layouts on iOS 18 or later. Saving and sharing images, and following the manual wallpaper guide, do not require Shortcuts. The Set Wallpaper action uses Apple's Shortcuts app and requires adding the companion shortcut. Notes are part of the exported image; they are not interactive widgets or notification alerts. PINWALL PRO The free plan includes one note and one image per wallpaper. All sticker styles, export and Shortcuts are included. Upgrade to PinWall Pro for unlimited notes and images with a lifetime one-time purchase or a monthly auto-renewable subscription. Prices are shown in the app for your App Store region. When Pro ends, each wallpaper keeps only its most recently added note and image. Older items are permanently deleted and are not restored if you purchase Pro again. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Monthly subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in App Store subscription settings. Restore Purchases is available in PinWall Settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PinWall at none against Mixy's shown. PinWall also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Mixy's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
