# Wordly® vs Odd Pixel

The clearest difference is update cadence: Odd Pixel at daily against Wordly®'s every 2 weeks. Odd Pixel also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Wordly®'s advantage is ratings volume (6.1K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wordly® sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Odd Pixel sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Odd Pixel holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wordly® has 6.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Wordly® ships an update every 2 weeks, Odd Pixel daily. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
