# Pixel art maker vs Pixel Art Dev

The clearest difference is rating: Pixel Art Dev at 5.0 against Pixel art maker's 4.6. Pixel art maker's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel art maker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.19 per month and Pixel Art Dev sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
