# Pixel Isle vs SigilShift

The clearest difference is rating: SigilShift at 5.0 against Pixel Isle's 4.1. SigilShift also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Pixel Isle's advantage is ratings volume (234 vs 3) and device support. On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Isle sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and SigilShift sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SigilShift holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixel Isle has 234 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
