# Resprite vs Pixel Art Dev

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Resprite at 1.4K against Pixel Art Dev's 2. Pixel Art Dev's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Resprite sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Pixel Art Dev sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pixel Art Dev holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Resprite has 1.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Resprite's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pixel Art Dev's.
