# Pixelogic vs PathPix Lite

The clearest difference is rating: Pixelogic at 4.8 against PathPix Lite's 4.3. Pixelogic also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (931 vs 13). PathPix Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and review sentiment (85% vs 70%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixelogic sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. PathPix Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pixelogic holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixelogic has 931 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Pixelogic's written reviews are positive against 85% of PathPix Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pixelogic ships an update every 3 weeks, PathPix Lite every 17 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
