# Oxytone vs Pixel Slide Puzzle

The clearest difference is rating: Pixel Slide Puzzle at 5.0 against Oxytone's 4.5. Oxytone's advantage is ratings volume (99 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Oxytone sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pixel Slide Puzzle sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pixel Slide Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Oxytone has 99 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
