# Oxytone vs Pixel Sweepers

The clearest difference is rating: Pixel Sweepers at 5.0 against Oxytone's 4.5. Pixel Sweepers also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). Oxytone's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (97 vs 10). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Oxytone sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pixel Sweepers sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pixel Sweepers holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Oxytone has 97 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Oxytone's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pixel Sweepers's.

Oxytone ships an update every 3 weeks, Pixel Sweepers every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
