# Bookmarks vs Pixel Bookmarks

The clearest difference is rating: Pixel Bookmarks at 5.0 against Bookmarks's 4.3. Pixel Bookmarks also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). Bookmarks's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bookmarks sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Pixel Bookmarks sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pixel Bookmarks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bookmarks has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Bookmarks's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pixel Bookmarks's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on June 20, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
