# 快手 vs PixEz

The clearest difference is ads: PixEz at none against 快手's shown. PixEz also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 49%). 快手's advantage is ratings volume (37K vs 334) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 快手 sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and PixEz sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

快手 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 快手 has 37K ratings behind it against 334, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of 快手's written reviews are positive against 79% of PixEz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

快手 ships an update weekly, PixEz monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
