# Piczle Lines vs PIXEL PUZZLE COLLECTION

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PIXEL PUZZLE COLLECTION at none against Piczle Lines's 6. PIXEL PUZZLE COLLECTION also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 16). Piczle Lines's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Piczle Lines sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. PIXEL PUZZLE COLLECTION asks for nothing beyond the download.

PIXEL PUZZLE COLLECTION holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PIXEL PUZZLE COLLECTION has 3K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Piczle Lines's written reviews are positive against 72% of PIXEL PUZZLE COLLECTION's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Piczle Lines ships an update fortnightly, PIXEL PUZZLE COLLECTION every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
