# Kidblock vs Pixel Combat Multiplayer

The clearest difference is ads: Kidblock at none against Pixel Combat Multiplayer's shown. Kidblock also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 372) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Pixel Combat Multiplayer's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kidblock sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Pixel Combat Multiplayer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pixel Combat Multiplayer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kidblock has 2.3K ratings behind it against 372, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Kidblock's written reviews are positive against 83% of Pixel Combat Multiplayer's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 3, 2026 respectively.
