# Pixel Tribe vs Doomdepths

The clearest difference is ads: Doomdepths at none against Pixel Tribe's shown. Doomdepths also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks). Pixel Tribe's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (4K vs 468). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Tribe sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Doomdepths sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pixel Tribe holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixel Tribe has 4K ratings behind it against 468, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of Pixel Tribe's written reviews are positive against 82% of Doomdepths's.

Pixel Tribe ships an update every 4 weeks, Doomdepths every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
