# Pixel Wizard vs hellamental

The clearest difference is ads: hellamental at none against Pixel Wizard's shown. hellamental also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (134 vs 8). Pixel Wizard's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 51%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Wizard sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and hellamental sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

hellamental holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: hellamental has 134 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Pixel Wizard's written reviews are positive against 51% of hellamental's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pixel Wizard ships an update every 3 weeks, hellamental every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and August 30, 2026 respectively.
